("Web3" or the "Company") (CSE:WEBV)(OTC PINK:WEBVF), a diversified investment company focused on furthering initiatives in the wellness, healthcare, AI, digital ownership, deep tech and fintech spaces, announces that the Company will change its name to "Orthogonal Global Group Inc." from "Web3 Ventures Inc." and begin trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the new name at the market open on January 11, 2024. The Company will also concurrently change its stock symbol to "OGG" on the CSE.

It is the natural connection between ideas and the utilization of tangential energy's universal and exponential power.

The Company's investment strategy utilizes the concept of orthogonal as it navigates tangents of possibility within a diverse environment of seasoned and unique individuals to achieve success. Departing from conventional investment approaches, Orthogonal intends to embrace an entirely new paradigm for assessing opportunities. Whether leveraging cutting-edge technologies or reimagining ancient practices for modern applications, every investment undergoes rigorous scrutiny, aiming for positive impact and value.

"We're thrilled to introduce Orthogonal Global Group as a manifestation of our dedication to conscious capitalism," said David Nikzad, the Company's CEO and Co-Founder.

Orthogonal signifies our strategic approach, leveraging unexpected angles and diverse opportunities to drive meaningful progress."

Under its new banner, Orthogonal Global Group remains dedicated to fostering innovation, supporting disruptive ideas, and uniting a community of like-minded individuals committed to driving change on a global scale.
