Our take

ConsenSys is an Ethereum software company that creates blockchain tools and infrastructure, allowing businesses to build the next generation of digital and tech applications. It has also moved forward into the Web 3.0 and metaverse space, continuing the principles of building a digital, decentralised economy.

The company's founder had already created the revolutionary Ethereum, and launched ConsenSys Software and ConsenSys Mesh, a blockchain investment company, to “harness” the powerful capabilities of Ethereum. Despite unicorn status, the company operates in unpredictable territory. Several bursts of reorganisation and a “merge” of sister company Ethereum means change is the norm for ConsenSys.

Regardless, the revolutionary technology and continuous breakthroughs that ConsenSys and the companies it invests in spearhead, show that they're flexible enough to maintain momentum. The business is extremely well-funded and eyeing up another fundraise which could see it valued at $3 billion.
