Strategic Arrangement with CreatdStudio

Vault is pleased to announce a strategic arrangement with CreatdStudio, the incubator arm of cocreatd, a venture studio in the marketing and creative industries.

This arrangement represents Vault Ventures' focus as an emerging technology incubator focused on early-stage ventures across blockchain, artificial intelligence ("AI"), and augmented reality. We aim to identify technological advancement at the intersection of market demand, providing founders with strategic support, capital, and operational guidance to help build their companies.

This arrangement enables us to offer founders something unique; the backing of a listed company combined with the agility and personal attention of a venture studio.

Most importantly, we believe that this arrangement addresses a critical gap in the market as early-stage technology companies need more than capital, they need strategic guidance, operational support, and access to networks that can accelerate their path to market.

At this stage our sector focus will be in the following sectors:

·      Blockchain & Web3 Infrastructure - the foundation of decentralised finance and ownership

·      Agentic AI Systems - autonomous intelligence reshaping business operations

·      Augmented Reality Experiences - the bridge between digital and physical worlds

The arrangement will aim to incubate 9 companies over a 3-year period, with 3 companies per year across the focus areas. CreatdStudio operates under a distinctive "rolling up sleeves as genuine co-builders from day zero" philosophy and maintains established relationships with major technology companies including Amazon, Apple, Google, Disney, and Uber, providing immediate market access for portfolio companies.
