Mattila sees $50bn sustainable development market in 2030

Luxembourg-based GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (GGY) has made US$100 million capital commitment in New Delhi’s 5ire, a 5th generation blockchain network founded by two entrepreneurs of Indian origin, Pratik Gauri and Prateek Dwivedi, along with crypto financier Vilma Mattila. It is in the midst of planning IPO.

By investing in 5ire, GEM will solidify its foothold in the emerging markets for sustainable level 1 blockchains with a highly diversified portfolio of use cases and a growing cache of MoUs with government and private sector partners.

5ire’s valuation stood at US$110 million upon receiving a funding of US$21 million in its seed round from both private and institutional investors like Alphabit, Marshland Capital, Launchpool Labs, Moonrock Capital, among other investors.

The funds will be utilised for the following purposes:

Expansion of the ecosystem involves liaising with government stakeholders in India and upcoming international markets,
Investing in technology and resources adding tech developers to build a more robust 5ireChain infrastructure,
Invest in research for innovation and keep building the most disruptive technology as well as for-benefit consensus mechanism,
Amplifying human capital and hiring the best talent in the industry across sales, marketing and product development, among other functions,
Enhance adoption of 5ireChain across crucial target audiences – Governments, Fortune 500 companies, Family Offices, Universities and civic bodies,

“This infusion of capital from GEM is aligned with 5ire’s vision of going public,” 5ire CEO and Co-founder Pratik Gauri said on 15 Feb 2022.

“We had successfully closed an oversubscribed seed round of US$21 million which took our valuation to US$110 million within two months of incorporation. We are really excited about this US$100 million investment from GEM as it is a testimony to the market confidence in our offering.

“This is a humbling moment for the founding team, as this shows that we are on the right track. We are grateful to all our investors for the trust shown in 5ire and our mission of embedding the for-benefit paradigm into the heart of blockchain.”

“I am very excited about our partnership with GEM and looking forward to finding synergies in how we further promote our vision of ‘For-benefit’ ventures in the 5ire ecosystem to transition the world from 4th Industrial Revolution to 5th Industrial Revolution, meet the 2030 SDGs and beyond.

“I feel that sustainability is not a one-time phenomenon, but a consistent development benchmark here on forward,” added Gauri.

“We are thrilled that our vision of impacting the lives of 1 billion people positively is starting to bear fruit. Having raised US$21 million in the first two months, and securing a further US$100 million within just six months has reinforced the founding team’s faith that we have a product that will change the world,” 5ire CMO and co-founder Prateek Dwivedi said.

“The market has acknowledged our hard work and sees things as we see them. We are the only sustainable blockchain in the world and we will continue to work relentlessly until sustainable practises through blockchain and doing good for benefit, become a way of life for businesses,” Dwivedi said.

“Sustainable development is estimated to be a US$20-$30 billion market in 2022 that is slated to grow to as much as US$50 billion by the year 2030. For us to be able to make an impact on the world, multiple stakeholders in the ecosystem will need to come together and build a community that encourages businesses to do good. With this capital, we aim to develop initiatives that help in community building as well,” 5ire CBO and co-founder Vilma Mattila elaborated.

5ire has been working diligently on the UN’s Sustainability goals and partnering with nations across three continents as the first step in this direction. By signing MOUs, 5ire has taken this first step in the public-private partnerships in India, Nigeria and the United States to bring their technological solutions for sustainability, better governance, more just and transparent law enforcement, and more.

5ire’s primary offering is 5ireChain, a first layer, sustainability-driven 5th generation blockchain that ensures adherence to the philosophy of 5IR, creating a net positive impact on the planet and serving humanity.
