July 10, 2025 – Uweb (University of Web3), a leading digital asset education institute headquartered in Hong Kong, today announced it has successfully raised $3 million in an angel funding round. This significant investment, led by Avenir Group, will fuel Uweb's ambitious plans to enhance its AI-powered educational offerings, accelerate its expansion into new international markets, and solidify its position as the premier gateway for traditional finance professionals entering the rapidly evolving Web3 space.
The $3 million angel round saw robust participation from a consortium of distinguished investors, including lead investor Avenir Group, alongside Ronin & Quinn Capital, Singchain Capital, First Merit, and several experienced angel investors deeply rooted in the Web3 ecosystem. This diverse backing underscores strong confidence in Uweb's vision and its crucial role in bridging the knowledge gap in the digital asset landscape.
Founded in 2023, Uweb's core mission is to become the world's top Web3 university, aiming to empower one billion people globally with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in digital assets. While initially focusing on delivering high-quality courses for wealthy individuals and institutional investors, Uweb's long-term strategy is to serve as the definitive entry point for traditional finance professionals transitioning into the Web3 world.
"This angel funding round is a monumental step towards realizing our vision of democratizing Web3 and digital asset education on a global scale," said a spokesperson for Uweb. "The support from our esteemed investors, combined with our strategic partnership with HKCDAA, empowers us to innovate rapidly, expand our reach, and equip millions with the knowledge needed to thrive in the decentralized future. Our commitment to leveraging AI for personalized, multi-lingual learning experiences will be key to achieving our goal of onboarding one billion users."
The newly secured capital will be strategically deployed to:
- Product and Course Enhancement: Further develop and refine Uweb's cutting-edge curriculum and educational products, ensuring they remain at the forefront of Web3 innovation.
- Global Market Expansion: Accelerate Uweb's growth into new international markets, making its educational resources accessible to a wider global audience.
- Advanced AI Integration: Significantly enhance Uweb's proprietary AI capabilities, including its Web3AI Tutor (which offers specialized AI Tutors for Web3, Crypto, and Crypto Assets Encyclopedia, as well as an AIGC Prompt Master), and facilitate the creation of multi-language course content to cater to diverse linguistic needs worldwide.
A cornerstone of Uweb's expansion strategy is its pivotal partnership with the Hong Kong Institute of Digital Asset Analysts (HKCDAA). This collaboration is meticulously aligned with Hong Kong's forward-thinking Digital Assets 2.0 policy. Together, Uweb and HKCDAA are committed to developing robust training programs and establishing industry-wide talent standards for Web3 professions in Hong Kong. Their ambitious joint goal is to train and certify over 100,000 fintech professionals, including Chartered Digital Assets Analysts (CDAAs), by 2030, significantly bolstering Hong Kong's position as a global Web3 hub.
Uweb's successful funding round marks a pivotal moment for digital asset education, signaling a strong market demand for accessible, high-quality Web3 learning platforms. By combining expert-led curriculum with advanced AI technologies and strategic partnerships, Uweb is poised to lead the charge in preparing a global workforce for the immense opportunities within the Web3 economy.
