Web3 wunderkind Felix Hartmann on the future of crypto, metaverse, and why you should strap on some VR goggles
Felix Hartmann, who has 47,000 Instagram followers, graduated from university three years ago. He is the managing partner of Hartmann Capital and regularly posts about cryptocurrencies on YouTube.
US-Krypto-Hedgefonds-Manager Felix Hartmann glaubt, dass der Kryptomarkt die Aktienmärkte ersetzen wird. Im cash-Interview erklärt er auch, warum Ether Bitcoin übertreffen wird - und warum Amazon bereits Old Economy ist.
Miami ist der Ort, an dem sich die Krypto-Szene eingerichtet hat. Dazu gehört der Deutsche Felix Hartmann. Er ist 26 Jahre jung und hat im Februar 2018 einen Hedgefonds für Krypto-Anlagen aufgelegt. Er zog vor kurzem von Los Angeles nach Florida. Andere Krypto-Investoren waren hier schon vor Ort. Hartmann berichtet von einem „großen Erwachen“. Das Volumen seines Fonds habe sich seit Herbst 2019 verachtfacht, umfasst nun einen zweistelligen Millionen-Dollar-Betrag.
“A lot of the insolvencies and forced unwinding from a volume perspective are behind us,” said Felix Hartmann, managing partner of Hartmann Capital. “Three Arrows filing for bankruptcy was kind of the final pin in that.”
Felix Hartmann from the crypto hedge fund Hartmann Capital says, “Bitcoin bridges the gap between currency and a store of value asset. It maintains the speed and flexibility of fiat currency while remaining independent of central banks and governments and their macro-economic policies such as inflation.”
Felix Hartmann, managing partner of Hartmann Capital, has joined the board. He said in a statement, “Virtual Reality transforms experiences beyond the capabilities of traditional 2D screens. Combat, both a fundamental aspect of human competition and one of its oldest sports, is poised for a groundbreaking evolution in VR. Sinn Studio is at the forefront of this transformation and is setting the stage for immersive combat to become a pivotal part of both sports and cultural landscapes.”
Next year will likely get busy again but will not be too competitive, according to Felix Hartmann, managing partner of Hartmann Capital. “If anything, 2024 is likely to be the ideal happy medium, where funds have ample time to do good due diligence without dragging their feet and putting undue burden on founders,” he said.
“Cheap point-and-click browser” P2Es are no longer getting the funding they used to get as “capital has gotten smarter and more demanding.” Hartmann suggested that venture capitalists are turning their attention to a better experience for gamers. He noted: “More cutting-edge game studios integrating Web3 and AI into Unreal Engine-based, high-fidelity games are seeing more traction.”
“Institutions started to really shop crypto in the past 24 months,” said Felix Hartmann, founder of crypto investment firm Hartmann Capital. “The interesting thing is, they haven’t stopped. They’re not saying, ‘Whew, I dodged a bullet’ like they were in 2018.” According to Hartmann, institutions are still interested in crypto despite the Terra fiasco. Additionally, the equities market doesn’t appear to be doing much better – another factor driving the institutional interest in crypto.”
“Felix Hartmann, managing partner at Hartmann Capital, told AFP that the present situation "moves bitcoin further out of this esoteric asset class and more towards being recognised as a legitimate trustable asset”
Felix Hartmann, the managing partner of Hartmann Capital and an author, thinks that “ETH gas fees will not lead to an ‘ETH Killer’” eating the network’s lunch, so to say.
“The metaverse is a massive opportunity, but most will distract themselves with quick money grabs in the P2E or PFP space instead of zooming out and backing what will matter 5 years from now,” Hartmann said
“Building the future requires partners who make you feel like you're in it together. From our very first meeting, the Hartmann team has been actively involved, supporting our product development and business strategy and facilitating critical connections. Their deep understanding of gaming and spatial computing made them the ideal partner for us.”
“Hartmann Capital is the most concentrated, connected, and helpful VC in VR. They understand the joys and pains of growing a gaming business in VR. They’ve been able to connect, guide, and coach us as we continue pushing through our journey.”
“The quality of support TRIPP receives from Hartmann Capital goes above and beyond the role of just “investor.” The team immediately understood our mission to use tech for good and that in order to have real impact in the world we would require having the right voices in the room as we scale to the next level as a company.”
“Having Hartmann Capital invest in our pre-seed round—well ahead of many understanding the need for a spatial design platform for spatial apps—was a clear signal of the firm's commitment to accelerating the development of the entire XR industry. Being an XR founder, it was incredibly refreshing to work with an investment team that is highly educated about spatial computing and our ecosystem.”
“It has been a pleasure working with Hartmann Capital since day one when the fund first invested in DressX. We greatly appreciate being part of their portfolio, as it has allowed us to connect with other remarkable companies. The fund does an excellent job organizing valuable events that enable us to explore new ideas and forge significant connections. Additionally, Felix is an exceptionally professional, kind, and knowledgeable individual. We value all of his assistance and curiosity. Working with his entire team has been a delightful experience.”
“Felix and the team at Hartmann Metaverse Ventures has been a critical partner for SUBPAC since the day we first met. They are thoughtful, supportive and absolutely have the right “touch” - there when you need their advice and support, yet cognizant of the pressures and demands of start-up life.”
“Incredibly founder friendly VC! Myself and my brother always felt like we had an ally in those very early stages of the company, regardless of how tough things got. The reality checks, strategy suggestions, founder guidance, and personal growth support was meaningful and efficient. They have become a team of people I respect and admire, and very much enjoy sharing my time with. Top tier communication, top tier support, top tier people.”
