Professionals in the room. Degens at heart.

HLV Advisory is a team of industry veterans and degens with previous careers in venture capital, investment banking, management consulting, software development and product management, and big law. We come from various industries including gaming, music, entertainment, telecommunications, banking, and financial services.

The common thread that binds us together is our shared passion for crypto and blockchain and bringing our diverse backgrounds together with our partners and the greater community to realize the value of Web3.

Professionals in the room. Degens at heart.

We work with the best brands and teams in the space and are obsessed with disciplined planning and delivery of Web3’s highest-caliber projects.

Our vision is to enable our clients to unlock the value of Web3 successfully.

Proof of work.

Our team is best known for partnering with Yuga Labs, serving as the strategic, operational, technical, and tokenomics minds behind the most successful fungible token launch ApeCoin ($APE), which reached a whopping $8 billion market cap at launch.

$APE at the time of launch.

And followed that up with the most successful metaverse NFT land launch with Otherdeeds ($560 million primary sales).

If that wasn’t enough, we provided technical and design support to the ApeCoin DAO’s launch of the ApeStake platform, which now has over 95M $APE in TVL aka Total Value Locked (or over $491 million at the time of writing).

We haven’t stopped there. We are actively working with ApeCoin DAO, Jam City, The Sandbox, Banger Games, Knights of Degen, 0N1 Force, Dust Protocol, Animoca, and other AAA teams that we can’t quite mention yet.

Just a few of the fun projects that are in flight across our partner base:

  • Fungible Token Launch Implementation
  • Tokenization and Tokenomics Strategy
  • Gaming Token Economy Design and Simulation
  • NFT Tech Advisory and Community Treasury Strategy
  • DAO Strategy and Implementation
  • Web3 Go to Market Strategy for Existing Platforms
  • Web3 Technical Architecture Design and Scaling Strategy

We specialize in a wide spectrum of Web3 topics, including fungible tokens, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Metaverse, and everything in between.

HLV’s raison d’etre.

We have been living and breathing Web3 and blockchain tech for years. In fact, our team members love spending time in Web3 even outside of work, serving as founding members of DAOs, sitting on DAO special councils, launching Web3 apps and NFT projects, and speaking on podcasts and conferences. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to wake up every day and get to do this for a living, 24/7.

We’re excited about bringing technical and execution maturity to Web3 and succeeding together with our partners. There’s an amazing opportunity for us to contribute and build next-generation technology and have a ton of fun along the way.

Ultimately, we are here to support all of you who are founders, operators, and visionaries, playing a role in bringing to life a future that’s more open, accessible, creative, and dynamic, created by crypto and blockchain-enabled technologies.

Our force multipliers.

By any and all measures we are all still early. But we’re fortunate to have had a head start, leading many of the most significant projects in our space. Through these learnings and our previous industry experience, we are building repeatable toolkits and processes that lead to sustainable ventures.

Web3 is constantly evolving and we add to our knowledge base with each and every experience. In essence, we are part of this evolution in real-time, all the while pushing the limits with every client we partner with.

We also don’t do it alone. These large-scale implementations aren’t successful by the power of a single group, but through the careful coordination of many brilliant minds across different teams in our space.

Our force multipliers

We’re thankful to call some of the top NFT projects, Web2 brands and companies, crypto legal firms, DeFi protocols, Web3 VCs, analytics platforms, market makers, centralized (CEX)/ decentralized exchanges (DEX), and custom software development shops our very close friends and just a direct message away.

By working with us, you’re not just getting a world-class Web3 advisory and execution team, you’re also leveraging the power of our network. #Priceless
