History of CV PAD & Agentlauncher

Our history rests on a groundbreaking collaboration between CV VC, CV Labs, and DuckDAO. Each brings its unique strengths and vision to create a launchpad that stands as a testament to the transformative power of Venture Capital as well as innovation driven initiatives surrounding AI and Web3 technology.

CV VC; the largest Swiss Web3-ecosystem and VC

CV VC, or Crypto Valley Venture Capital, has been an institutional cornerstone of the Swiss and global blockchain revolution since its official inception in early 2018. Its roots trace back to 2016. In the heart of Switzerland's Crypto Valley, CV VC has nurtured the growth of over a thousand blockchain companies, including notable unicorns like Tezos and Cardano, which call the CV Labs offices home. Furthermore CV VC runs physical ecosystem spaces in Lisbon, Berlin, Cape Town and Dubai’s DMCC. Switzerland's ethos of decentralization, leadership, and precision have made it an ideal breeding ground for blockchain innovation. CV VC has leveraged this unique environment to foster the development of startups that push the boundaries of what blockchain technology can achieve.

CV VC's mission has always been clear: to scout, support, and invest in the world's most promising blockchain entrepreneurs. This aligns seamlessly with our focus on AI-driven innovation, leveraging the strength of CV VC's ecosystem to accelerate transformative projects. It believes blockchain is more than just a technology—it's a movement. By identifying disruptors and pioneers in the space, CV VC has positioned itself as a leading force in the global blockchain ecosystem, thanks to Switzerland's progressive regulations and a community that encourages invention and transformation.

DuckDAO; Rising from community roots

DuckDAO, founded in 2016, emerged as a vibrant community of Web3 and crypto enthusiasts united by a common goal: democratizing access to early-stage project investments. DuckDAO has shattered the traditional barriers to entry for individual investors by acting as a cohesive entity that offers funding, marketing, and strategic support to burgeoning projects. With the slogan “Who will win: one VC or 1000 ducks?”, DuckDAO has challenged the crypto space and created a membership model that opens doors to exclusive presales, IDOs, and a host of marketing activities, connecting individuals with the pulse of the blockchain startup scene. With over 100,000 community members placing their trust in DuckDAO, it has become a powerhouse of community-driven project acceleration.

The Convergence: Founding CV PAD & Agentlauncher

In December 2023 CV Pad was founded with the focus to launch the most innovative Web3 and AI projects the space has to offer.

In January 2025 Agentlauncher was revelaed to the public with a mission of integrating AI-powered solutions into the blockchain ecosystem. This strategic shift highlights the growing importance of AI in revolutionizing investment strategies, project management, and scalability, making Agentlauncher a trailblazer in the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies. This transformation marks a significant step in redefining how blockchain projects are launched and supported, placing a stronger emphasis on AI-driven innovation and scalability.

The establishment of Agentlauncher is the culmination of shared visions and synergistic efforts of CV VC, CV Labs, and DuckDAO. Agentlauncher is an AI Marketplace+—it's a pivot towards a future where AI and blockchain technology converge to drive innovation by intelligent automation.
