Chris Dixon

Founder, Managing Partner

95%

a16z crypto

Check: No personal check-size range is published. The official profile's aggregate fund-raising figure and public financing announcements describe firm resources and transactions, not Chris's individual authority or a reliable minimum/maximum check.

Chris invests behind blockchains as a new computing and ownership primitive for the internet. His core thesis is that token-enabled networks can align builders, users, and owners; bootstrap network effects; replace extractive corporate platforms with open, composable economies; and eventually support both financial and non-financial applications. He treats the category as a decades-long infrastructure-to-applications transition rather than a short market cycle.

Guy Wuollet

General Partner

93%

a16z crypto

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Public seed, Series A, and later financing amounts are company-level transaction sizes and are not a defensible proxy for Guy's individual range or allocation authority.

Guy invests across the crypto stack with a technical focus on infrastructure, DeFi, and decentralized physical infrastructure. He looks for blockchains to coordinate markets that centralized intermediaries serve poorly—compute, energy, telecom, transportation, credit, and global finance—and for open protocols whose incentives unlock latent capacity, lower coordination costs, and compound through interoperability and composability.

Plutos Capital

Check: $250K–$500K stated first-check range in a current @FryCookVC public post, with 'no matter how early' guidance. Plutos describes investing from pre-seed through Series A across equity and token rounds. Confirm currency, ownership, reserves and whether the range applies to the Genesis Fund before relying on it.

Lukas backs deeply technical founders building sovereign, privacy-enabling infrastructure across blockchain, AI and dual-use systems. His central claim is that institutions need the openness, neutral settlement and composability of public chains but cannot expose salaries, counterparties, cash flow, supply chains or trading strategies. Private permissioned chains repeatedly lose network effects and create costly governance silos; the investable bridge is privacy technology—zero-knowledge proofs, encrypted transactions and mempools, confidential compute, TEEs and secure hardware—that preserves public-chain interoperability while protecting sensitive data. He extends that secure-compute thesis across software and hardware, terrestrial and orbital systems.

Laura K. Inamedinova

General Partner

93%

ALPS Capital

Check: No current ALPS check size is publicly disclosed. Laura's September 2026 criteria specify Pre-Seed to Seed companies valued below $30M; that is a valuation ceiling and stage filter, not a stated check range.

Laura currently backs institution-grade financial-market infrastructure for digital assets and AI as TradFi moves onchain. Her stated targets include payments, stablecoins, clearing and settlement, trading infrastructure, custody-as-a-service, insurance, lending, and agentic identity or payments, with a shipped MVP, institutional proof, real technical or regulatory advantage and a credible enterprise acquisition path.

Jose Sanchez

Head of research, Investment Associate

91%

The Spartan Group

Check: No personal check-size or allocation authority is published. Spartan Capital manages liquid, DeFi, gaming/metaverse, and market-neutral funds; the firm's $500M stated AUM and portfolio activity are not a personal check range for José.

José researches and evaluates liquid and protocol opportunities for Spartan Capital. His work focuses on crypto becoming financial infrastructure: stablecoin adoption, yield markets, institutional use of public DeFi, tokenized equities and commodities, high-performance onchain exchanges, intents, and autonomous-agent payments. He pairs narrative inflection points with measurable supply, transfer volume, fees, TVL, open interest, protocol revenue, and live institutional usage.

Elizabeth Harkavy

Investment Partner

90%

a16z crypto

Check: a16z crypto does not publish a reliable personal check range for Liz. Her public deal writing spans seed leadership and large later financings, so founders should confirm vehicle, stage, allocation, ownership target, lead/co-lead role, token/equity structure, and reserves with the team.

Liz focuses on the picks-and-shovels and decentralized infrastructure that let crypto mature into useful, open economic systems. Her authored investment work emphasizes market infrastructure for increasingly sophisticated prediction-market traders, interoperable stablecoin clearing, productive Bitcoin collateral, and regulated programmable accounts for autonomous software. Her earlier metaverse framework favors decentralization, durable property rights, self-sovereign identity, composability, open source, community ownership, and social immersion.

SeedVentureGrowth

Alpin Yukseloglu

Partner, Investing & Research

90%

Paradigm

Check: Paradigm says it backs founders at every stage from first check through public markets, but it does not publish Alpin's personal check range or decision authority. A 2024 firm filing described vehicle investments from $1M to $100M or more; that historical firm range is not treated as his current personal range.

Alpin partners with crypto founders and researchers who have strong instincts about the future and the courage to follow them. His work centers on protocol, market, and mechanism design—especially systems that take explicit architectural tradeoffs to improve a core product or maximize performance. He is interested in how specialized new networks exploit incumbent dogma, how markets can improve collective decisions, and how open benchmarks can safely accelerate AI-assisted smart-contract security.

Brad Burnham

Co-Founder and Venture Partner

90%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: USV states that the firm writes $1 million to $30 million checks from the earliest stages onward. It does not publish Brad's personal range or authority; investments are discussed by the full partnership and decided collectively without a vote.

Brad's published investing work centers on preserving the internet's permissionless, generative character. He has backed open communications and data infrastructure, decentralized protocols with incentive-aligned funding models, community fiber networks that challenge access monopolies, and data-driven media platforms entering a market transition. The common thread is reducing gatekeeper control while creating networks whose users, developers, and communities share in expanding value.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Christian Zimmermann

Partner and Chief Operating Officer

90%

Greenfield Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield invests across pre-seed through later stages, while Christian's stated responsibility is implementing investment decisions rather than owning a public personal allocation range.

Christian applies transaction, regulatory, and policy expertise to executing Greenfield's crypto investments. His work argues for clear decentralization standards, practical token tax treatment, open institutional access to digital assets, and privacy-preserving crypto infrastructure that reconciles public networks with legitimate personal and institutional confidentiality.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Avishay Ovadia

Founding Partner

90%

Collider Ventures

Check: No personal or standard Collider check-size range is published. A disclosed $6.7M seed round was the total financing for one company and must not be treated as Avishay's personal or firm-wide check range.

Avishay is a founder-first, contrarian crypto investor who treats decentralized systems as political and economic networks, not just software. He looks for leaders who can align the four constituencies he identifies—technical purists, traders, builders, and storytellers—while building real utility and defensible businesses. His recent thesis has shifted toward institutional distribution, revenue, risk management, token value accrual, and infrastructure that incumbents need but cannot readily build themselves.

Pre-SeedSeedEarly Stage

Wyatt Khosrowshahi

Investor

89%

Castle Island Ventures

Check: No current first-party ticket range is published. Castle Island describes itself as an early-stage investor in public-blockchain infrastructure and applications; founders should confirm current stage and check expectations directly rather than relying on directory estimates.

Wyatt invests in infrastructure and applications that expand the onchain economy, with a particularly data-rich focus on stablecoin payments and DeFi market structure. His work treats stablecoins as crypto's highest-velocity global medium of exchange, asks which networks can deliver speed, cost, reliability and security, and evaluates DeFi protocols through durable revenue, collateral quality, liquidity and composable risk rather than headline TVL alone.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Vassilis Tziokas

Venture Partner

89%

Big Pi Ventures

Check: Big Pi publishes a firm-wide equity-ticket range of €0.5M–€30M across its early-stage and growth funds; its early-stage Fund II described €1M–€3M lead investments. These are firm parameters, not Vassilis's personal allocation range.

Vassilis brings a blockchain ecosystem and go-to-market lens to Big Pi's technology investing. His public work emphasizes the transition from crypto trading toward usable infrastructure: privacy-preserving institutional networks, interoperable bank deposits, Ethereum applications, zero-knowledge systems, stablecoins, and real-world financial workflows. This sits within Big Pi's broader preference for defensible technology, global markets, and teams that can translate technical invention into commercial products.

SeedEarly StageSeries A

Nassim Olive

Co-Founder & General Partner

89%

Eterna Capital

Check: $250K–$1M indicated by current investor directories, with roughly $500K described as a sweet spot. Eterna's own live site confirms a global, early-stage mandate but does not publish a check range, so founders should verify current size, reserves, instrument and lead appetite directly. Eterna has publicly co-led at least one pre-seed round (Stoffel Labs).

Nassim invests where decentralized protocols, programmable value layers and AI-native infrastructure converge to reshape the internet. His work connects crypto's ownership and market primitives to broad economic utility: tokenization and stablecoins that improve access and liquidity, privacy-preserving computation that makes sensitive applications possible, authenticated data for AI and blockchain, and technical infrastructure capable of moving from inception through real products, sustainable business models and network-effect communities.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Mason Nystrom

Partner

88%

Pantera Capital

Check: No person-specific check size is publicly disclosed. Pantera's published venture approach typically invests from Seed through Series B and aims to lead or co-lead; founders should confirm fit rather than infer a check from third-party databases.

Mason is an application-layer investor looking for products that use crypto coordination and ownership to change how large groups of people interact. His work emphasizes stablecoins as global payment infrastructure, peer-to-peer market structures, programmable internet-native capital formation and blockchain becoming invisible infrastructure inside useful consumer and real-world applications.

SeedSeries ASeries B

Jehan Chu

Founder & Managing Partner

88%

Kenetic Capital

Check: No reliable public standard ticket or Jehan-specific approval range was found. Kenetic invests its family-office capital in direct blockchain companies, tokens and other crypto funds, and its published site emphasizes Series A/B equity; historical and interview evidence also shows seed, token and incubation activity. Ask directly rather than inferring a check from round size.

Jehan treats blockchain as the next internet and backs the data, infrastructure, enterprise, trading and financial systems that can anchor a natively digital economy. He underwrites the founders first—their experience, response to failure, differentiated expertise, team leadership, conviction and authenticity—then verifies backgrounds, technology maturity, utility, incentives, treasury discipline and a path from launch to sustained adoption.

SeedSeries ASeries B

Abdul Al Ali

Venture Investor

88%

Decasonic

Check: No Abdul-specific check range is public. Decasonic's current team page calls him Venture Investor and says founder Paul Hsu is the firm's sole general partner, so this profile does not imply unilateral allocation authority. Confirm current vehicle, instrument, lead appetite and check size directly.

Abdul invests at the application and interface layers where Web3 provides programmable trust, ownership or economic coordination for AI systems. His current work emphasizes physical AI and robotics data, machine identity and payments, consumer AI applications, prediction markets and AI-native financial infrastructure. Decasonic's underwriting frame combines narrative, product-market fit and execution, with adoption and durable network effects as primary evidence.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Caitlin Pintavorn

Venture Partner

88%

Paradigm

Check: No personal check range or decision authority is published. Paradigm invests from first check through public markets, but Caitlin's current collaborator status and the firm's capital base do not establish an individual check size.

Caitlin is a Paradigm venture partner and Stripe zero-to-one strategist whose published investment perspective centers on crypto's ability to improve online coordination and create internet-native economies. Her current Paradigm work is best understood as a collaborator and ecosystem/talent lens, with stated interest in markets, incentive design, distributed systems, developer tooling, applications, and agentic commerce.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Banafsheh Fathieh

General Partner

88%

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through both equity and tokens; the firm's reported fund size and company round totals are not Banafsheh's personal range.

Banafsheh backs early blockchain companies and token networks that create fundamental utility. Her public discussions emphasize the infrastructure or 'plumbing' of crypto, globally relevant financial systems, and matching an application to the chain whose security, performance, and ecosystem fit its use case. Her personal motivation is informed by seeing how broken banking and state-controlled money affect people outside stable financial systems.

SeedSeries AToken Networks

Sebastian Blum

Founding Partner

88%

Greenfield Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield's venture strategy invests from pre-seed through later rounds; its EUR 135 million Fund III size and portfolio financing totals are not Sebastian's personal check parameters.

Sebastian backs open, decentralized infrastructure that removes single points of failure and gives users and institutions resilient alternatives to concentrated cloud, communications, identity, and financial systems. His current thesis treats privacy, self-sovereign asset management, encrypted computation, and machine infrastructure as commercially important layers of European digital sovereignty rather than speculative crypto niches.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Lukas Etter

Co-CIO & General Partner

88%

CV VC

Check: CV VC's published early-stage program invests up to $500,000 in qualifying pre-seed and seed companies with an MVP and initial traction. This is a firm program limit, not Lukas's personal allocation range; other vehicles and follow-ons may differ.

Lukas backs early frontier-technology companies building a decentralized and tokenized economy, with a current emphasis on traditional businesses moving onto blockchain rails and the convergence of blockchain with AI. He favors working products with measurable utility, economic or social impact, and operationally credible paths from early traction to institutional or global adoption.

Pre-SeedSeedAccelerator

Lucas Vogelsang

VENTURE PARTNER

88%

Blockchain Capital

Check: No personal or venture-partner check range is published. Blockchain Capital's announced financing rounds and Tare's seed round are transaction sizes, not a reliable proxy for Lucas's individual authority.

Lucas specializes in rebuilding credit and capital markets on shared blockchain infrastructure. His operating record points to tokenized funds, real-world assets, institutional DeFi, and end-to-end lending systems that reduce reconciliation and intermediary costs. He emphasizes that tokenization alone is insufficient: assets need credible legal and operational structures, actual buyer demand, liquidity, and composable market infrastructure for lending and trading.

SeedEarly StageProtocol Networks

Stanko Nedic

Partner

88%

V3V Ventures

Check: No Stanko-specific check range is public. A current third-party V3V profile reports a firm-level typical range of $100K–$1M at pre-seed/seed, while public round databases describe the larger rounds V3V joins rather than its own checks. Treat $100K–$1M as directional and confirm instrument, allocation and follow-on capacity directly.

Stanko invests in early-stage software, digital infrastructure and emerging technology, with a strong Web3 focus and an engineer's bias toward difficult, foundational systems. His current public filter is a move away from narratives toward measurable fundamentals: real products, revenue, product traction, user retention and sustainable business models. Within crypto he highlights infrastructure, stablecoin and payment rails, institutional adoption, DeFi, cross-chain systems and the decentralized-AI stack across compute, storage, data, models and applications. V3V pairs capital with architecture, GTM, distribution and follow-on fundraising support.

Josh Solesbury

Principal

87%

ParaFi Capital

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. ParaFi's private-markets strategy backs early- and growth-stage companies and protocols, but firm AUM and individual transactions should not be converted into a presumed standard ticket or unilateral authority.

Josh focuses on blockchain infrastructure that can replace costly financial plumbing and connect digital assets to large, existing pools of economic activity. His public work highlights stablecoins for cross-border B2B payments, savings and remittances; tokenization and institutional adoption; protocol and application value capture; and capital-markets structures around Bitcoin and crypto treasuries. He evaluates opportunities through addressable volume, concrete workflow pain, distribution and operational implementation.

Alana Palmedo

Managing Partner

87%

Paradigm

Check: Paradigm invests at every stage, from first check through public markets. Its fourth fund is $1.2 billion, but neither the firm nor Alana publishes a personal check range; the fund size is therefore not treated as her check authority.

Alana co-leads a research- and builder-led strategy that backs ambitious technical founders from first check through public markets. Paradigm began in crypto and now targets the fastest-moving technology frontiers, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, space and defense, while continuing to invest in crypto-native markets and financial infrastructure.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Andrzej Dzius

Partner and Chief Technology Officer

87%

Greenfield Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield's venture strategy spans pre-seed through later rounds; disclosed portfolio round totals are not Andrzej's personal allocation limits.

Andrzej brings an operator-CTO lens to Greenfield's crypto portfolio. His current published work emphasizes privacy as general-purpose infrastructure and backs decentralized encrypted computation that can make sensitive finance, healthcare, AI, and enterprise workloads usable without exposing raw data. His role is technical and portfolio-facing rather than publicly described as a conventional sourcing mandate.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Ren CF

General Partner

87%

Electric Capital

Check: Electric Capital's current website publishes a $1M–$15M+ range from pre-seed through Series A; its January 2026 user-owned-technology thesis says it invests $1M–$20M in that theme. No separate personal range is published for Ren.

Ren backs deeply technical, trust-minimized systems and the builders who can turn them into usable infrastructure. His work combines protocol security, consensus game theory, smart-contract code analysis, developer activity, liquidity, volatility, and market structure. A central test in his published thinking is whether a protocol truly compresses verification cost for a sufficiently standardized asset or interaction—and whether it can overcome the friction, coordination, and funding disadvantages that usually pull products back toward centralized platforms.

Ching Tseng

Investment Director

87%

AppWorks

Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Ching's personal allocation range.

Ching backs global Web3 founders and infrastructure that can make decentralized systems useful, secure, and accessible at scale. Her work emphasizes founder vision, determination, domain expertise, and execution; practical user pain; transparent and non-custodial architecture; and businesses that earn trust through real adoption rather than token narratives alone.

SeedSeries ASeries B

Yerui Zhang

Investment Director

86%

HashKey Capital

Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. HashKey Capital operates multiple venture, liquid, and multi-strategy vehicles; fund size and disclosed portfolio rounds should not be converted into Yerui's individual authority.

Yerui is a HashKey investment director with documented fund-committee responsibility and a contributor to the firm's technical sector research. The research evaluates infrastructure and applications across ZK, MEV, intents, account abstraction, data availability, Bitcoin, AI x crypto, DePIN, staking, and related Web3 layers. The consistent lens is whether technical design improves transaction flow, verifiability, capital efficiency, decentralization, and real demand.

SeedSeries AEarly Stage

Brian Breslow

Investor

86%

No Limit Holdings

Check: No Brian-specific or official current check range is public. NLH Fund II is positioned to lead early-stage native-crypto investments, and the firm's disclosed portfolio spans pre-seed, seed, strategic and Series A rounds. Round totals are not personal check sizes; founders should ask Brian or the firm about current sizing and instrument.

Brian invests in early-stage blockchain infrastructure and crypto-native businesses where a protocol or token can coordinate a real resource, market or financial rail. His recent work looks beyond defensive crypto narratives toward useful infrastructure: quantum-compute orchestration, verifiable markets for scarce compute, stablecoin wrappers that bring differentiated private-credit yield onchain, decentralized ownership for an AI-heavy economy and businesses whose utility can survive the collapse of undifferentiated L1 monetary premium.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Alexander Borodich

General Partner, AINative.Capital & UNLMTD.Capital

85%

Check: No public check range is stated. AINative says it invests at Seed and Series A in AI-native companies and is active; UNLMTD describes larger Seed–Series A checks but remains in formation. Confirm legal vehicle, close status, available capital, allocation and decision process before relying on either.

Alexander's current thesis is that hypergrowth can be assessed through a conjunction of visible structural factors: aligned macro/meso/micro trends, founder cognitive complexity, plan velocity, coherent co-founder dynamics and a supportive capital climate. AINative narrows this to companies substantially built and operated by AI agents. The methodology is unusually explicit but its performance statistics are self-reported and should be independently verified.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Aadharsh Pannirselvam

Investor

85%

Archetype

Check: No person-specific or current firm check size is publicly disclosed. Archetype describes itself as an early-stage fund and its historical firm overview says it partners from first check through Series A; founders should confirm round fit directly rather than rely on directory estimates.

Aadharsh invests where applied cryptography makes useful software private, programmable and verifiable, and where decentralized AI can coordinate agents, data and computation without recreating centralized control. His Privacy 2.0 thesis centers on composable private shared state, hybrid PET stacks and eventually a broadly usable cryptographic protocol with explicit trust assumptions.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Joey Shin

Junior Partner

85%

Pantera Capital

Check: No person-specific check size is publicly disclosed. Pantera's published venture strategy typically spans Seed through Series B and aims to lead or co-lead; Joey's own mandate is DeFi and infrastructure rather than a stated ticket size.

Joey treats blockchain as a permissionless, composable technology stack for programming value and human behavior—not merely a digital copy of traditional finance. He is looking for institutional DeFi stacks, novel market structures and Web3 infrastructure primitives with tangible use cases, especially net-new experiences that change user behavior.

SeedSeries AGrowth

Dan Park

Senior Associate

85%

Hashed

Check: No individual check range is disclosed. Dan is a Senior Associate on Hashed's investment and research team; published investment notes show thematic involvement but do not prove unilateral check authority or a standard ticket.

Dan looks for crypto infrastructure that removes adoption bottlenecks and connects on-chain systems to real economic activity. His investment writing favors ambient, developer-friendly infrastructure; sustainable market formation and price discovery; tokenization tied to productive assets and cash flows; and Asian consumer or emerging-market products where crypto improves an existing system rather than adding novelty for its own sake.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Prashanth Swaminathan

Venture Partner

85%

Woodstock Fund

Check: Woodstock does not publish a personal check range for Prashanth on its site. Third-party databases estimate firm ranges, but those estimates and portfolio round sizes are not treated as evidence of his individual authority.

Prashanth works within Woodstock's research-led early- and growth-stage Web3 strategy. The firm's three lenses are convergence, financialisation, and virtualisation: interoperable infrastructure that links web3 with traditional and emerging technology; regulated, risk-managed financial rails that bring real users and sticky capital onchain; and gaming or creator experiences where virtual ownership improves the product. His institutional background is especially relevant to capital markets, regulation, risk, and the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Samuel Harrison

Managing Partner

85%

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A using equity and tokens; its fund commitments and disclosed financing totals should not be interpreted as Samuel's standard check.

Samuel backs early crypto infrastructure and protocols that make blockchain useful at scale. His public focus includes wallets, brokerages, developer tools, remittances, stablecoin and payment rails, and other foundational systems. He combines a long-duration belief in blockchain with a pragmatic demand for real utility, technically credible teams, and precise execution through volatile market cycles.

Raymond Feng

Technical Partner

85%

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through equity and tokens; its fund size and portfolio rounds are not Raymond's personal allocation parameters.

As Faction's Technical Partner, Raymond evaluates early blockchain companies across the stack, from base infrastructure to applications. The safest evidence-supported interpretation of his mandate is technical diligence on whether a protocol is fundamentally useful, securely designed, and executable by a team capable of balancing a frontier vision with precise delivery.

Julien Passagne

Venture Partner

85%

CV VC

Check: CV VC publicly invests up to $500,000 in qualifying pre-seed and seed companies. CV Pad and launchpad transactions can have different token terms; no reliable public source establishes Julien's personal allocation authority.

Julien brings a technical, crypto-native lens to early blockchain and AI opportunities. His background spans building a Big Four blockchain practice, operating at a Layer-1 company, bootstrapping an eight-figure fund, and leading investment decisions for a token launchpad. Within CV VC's current mandate, the strongest fit is defensible frontier infrastructure—especially AI and autonomous systems intersecting with verifiable ownership, transactions, and coordination—rather than token narrative alone.

Pre-SeedSeedToken Launch

Coulter Mulligan

Partner, Marketing & Communications

85%

UDHC

Check: Coulter has publicly said UDHC writes checks from pre-seed through Series A. A verified OpenVC firm profile lists $50K–$2M as UDHC's first-check range and says the firm sometimes leads; treat that as directory-level firm guidance rather than a Coulter-specific commitment, and confirm current size and ownership directly.

Coulter works with UDHC's early-stage onchain-finance portfolio, applying a marketing and communications lens to companies that can connect crypto-native infrastructure with the traditional financial system. The firm's public strategy emphasizes useful onchain financial products, strong user experience, regulatory awareness, transparency and a credible path toward decentralization; Coulter's specific contribution is helping technical teams turn those qualities into positioning, community and go-to-market execution.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Eylon Aviv

Partner

85%

Collider Ventures

Check: No reliable official current check range was found. Collider publicly describes itself as an early-stage Web3 investor and accepts pitches at invest@collider.vc; third-party directory estimates conflict, so founders should confirm current vehicle, stage and sizing directly.

Eylon connects two decentralization theses: crypto-native individual sovereignty that minimizes centralized authority through technology, and Web3 collective empowerment that democratizes ownership and access. In practice he looks for non-consensus early-stage infrastructure capable of moving capital formation, markets and digital ownership onchain while remaining alert to the new choke points, governance hierarchies and risk created by ostensibly permissionless systems.

Pre-seedSeedEarly Stage

Wei Dai

Research Partner

85%

1kx

Check: No Wei-specific check range is published. 1kx raised a $75M fund in 2024 and says it writes first checks across cycles, but neither fact establishes an individual ticket; founders should use the firm's pitch channel for current sizing.

Wei invests in the financial and security infrastructure that lets blockchains and autonomous software reduce the cost of trust without sacrificing safety. His work joins deep cryptography with venture underwriting: trust-minimized horizontal scaling, programmable cryptography and purpose-built hardware, threat-resistant privacy, and external enforcement, provenance and governance for agentic AI.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Evan Feng

Partner

84%

CoinFund

Check: Personal check size is not publicly disclosed. CoinFund invests from pre-seed through Series A and in liquid digital assets across multiple strategies.

Evan applies fundamental-investing discipline to both venture and liquid crypto: identify the metrics that genuinely drive an asset, forecast them, define thesis-invalidation points in advance, and pressure-test assumptions through an authentic external network. He looks beyond equity-style valuation heuristics to community, network effects, token demand, distribution, and the new product surface enabled by open onchain economies.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Tim Khoury

Deal Partner

84%

Lightspeed Faction

Check: Faction does not publish a standard check range or Tim's personal authority. The official mandate is Seed and Series A, across equity and tokens; public financing sizes are not Faction check sizes.

Tim is a crypto-native early-stage investor with an explicit interest at the intersection of crypto and AI. His WeatherXM work shows a demand-first DePIN lens: token incentives can coordinate distributed supply, but a network is only durable when there is an external customer for the data or service produced. That fits Faction's broader mandate to back useful blockchain systems across the stack rather than speculation for its own sake.

Rohit Jain

Managing Partner

83%

CoinDCX Ventures

Check: $100K–$1M was the published CoinDCX Ventures range at launch in May 2022 for global Seed through Series A investments. The live firm page still confirms an early-stage global mandate but does not restate the range, so founders should verify the current ticket directly.

Rohit backs early-stage Web3 businesses where decentralization produces a materially better product—not blockchain for its own sake. He looks for valuable, sustainable companies and balances thesis conviction with execution, with particular emphasis on DeFi, exchange and order-book innovation, blockchain infrastructure, chain abstraction, and simpler user and developer journeys that can drive mass adoption.

Natalie Mullins

Investor

83%

Bain Capital Crypto

Check: No personal or standard ticket range is published. Bain Capital Crypto launched with a $560M fund and describes concentrated investing from seed through growth and across private and public markets; this firm-level capital base does not imply Natalie's individual authority or a fixed check size.

Natalie's public footprint joins two sides of crypto investing: foundational protocol infrastructure and consumer experiences around identity, media, culture, games and creator economics. Her prior trust-and-safety work at Meta adds a lens on abuse, governance and platform risk, while her Liquid Culture interviews emphasize products that use crypto's ownership and incentive primitives to create behavior or business models that Web2 cannot simply replicate.

Vikram Singh

Investor

83%

Galaxy Ventures

Check: Galaxy Ventures Fund I closed at more than $175M and targets early-stage companies, but no standard personal or firm ticket range is published on the cited pages. No individual signing authority is inferred from Vikram's Investor title.

Vikram studies the infrastructure that lets blockchains support Bitcoin programmability, mass-market stablecoin distribution and autonomous software. His writing moves from BitVM bridge economics to UPI-inspired payments distribution, agent-paid APIs and compute markets. Across these topics, the consistent lens is economic: technical primitives matter when incentives, cost, liquidity and user experience make them viable at scale.

Henry Harris

Investor

83%

Castle Island Ventures

Check: No current first-party ticket range is published. Castle Island describes an early-stage mandate around public-blockchain infrastructure and applications; no personal range or unilateral authority is claimed for Henry.

Henry brings data science and public-equity research to early-stage public-blockchain investing. His visible work concentrates on empirical stablecoin adoption and the health of DeFi markets: how collateral, incentives, risk curators, security and native-token value evolve as onchain finance shifts from subsidy-driven experimentation toward sustainable financial infrastructure.

Pre-seedSeedSeries A

Gleb Dudka

Principal

83%

Greenfield Capital

Check: Not publicly disclosed. Greenfield has led and joined pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds, but public round sizes are not personal or firm check sizes.

Gleb leads Greenfield's DeFi work, combining protocol research, infrastructure operating experience, and deal execution. His current research emphasizes capital-efficient and safer liquidity architecture, intent-based execution, MEV and sequencing, and go-to-market systems that convert speculative launch capital into durable protocol use. Greenfield's broader mandate is to back early developer teams building an open, decentralized, and robust web across private, public, and liquid opportunities.

Check: CV VC's current founder page states that the firm invests up to $500,000 in pre-seed and seed companies with an MVP, initial traction, a pilot product, and revenue. No separate personal check range is published for David.

David backs early-stage frontier-technology companies that make enterprise intelligence programmable or rebuild how value and trust move. CV VC's current strategy centers on automation, intelligent B2B, and digital finance, with AI-native software and blockchain acting as complementary foundations. His own public commentary emphasizes useful infrastructure over speculation, safe movement of capital into innovation, institutional adoption, durable systems, and globally relevant companies formed in Europe, the United States, or the Middle East.

Pantera Capital

Check: No person-specific venture check size is publicly disclosed. Pantera's venture strategy typically invests Seed through Series B, but Paul's public work is primarily macro and digital-asset allocation rather than individual startup ticket guidance.

Paul's published case for digital assets starts with monetary adoption: a cryptoasset becomes money only if a critical mass accepts it, but the possibility of that scale can justify a suitable asymmetric allocation and a hedge against loss of fiat purchasing power. His background connects crypto underwriting to monetary regimes, volatility, derivatives and portfolio construction.

NGC Ventures

Check: No personal or firm ticket is disclosed on NGC's site. Zi's partner title, accelerator mentorship and infrastructure responsibilities show meaningful technical involvement but do not prove a standard range or unilateral decision authority.

Zi focuses on blockchain infrastructure from research through live network operation. He evaluates execution bottlenecks, layer-2 and appchain architecture, EVM compatibility and parallel processing, while StakeX exposes him to validator operations across networks such as NYM, Algorand, SKALE and Avalanche. The result is a practical lens on whether protocol performance claims survive testnets, incentives and production operations.

Electric Capital

Check: Electric Capital publicly advertises firm-level checks of $1M–$15M+ from pre-seed through Series A. No personal range or unilateral authority is disclosed for Geoff, so that firm range should be treated as routing context rather than his individual ticket.

Geoff brings mechanism design, computational finance and systems engineering to frontier-technology investing. His work on ad auctions, algorithmic trading, rates derivatives and the SCION internet architecture creates a lens for markets where incentives, network structure and technical reliability interact. His attributed stablecoin dashboard emphasizes actual usage—wallets, flows, chains and issuer competition—rather than supply headlines alone.

Will Leas

Deal Partner

Lightspeed Faction

Check: Faction does not publish a standard check range or Will's personal allocation authority. Its official mandate is Seed and Series A, using equity and tokens; observed round sizes are not check-size evidence.

Will invests in useful early-stage blockchain projects across equity and tokens. His public Meld thesis highlights infrastructure that connects traditional money and crypto: simple, compliant, developer-friendly access to stablecoins and digital assets across markets. The broader Faction framework favors long-term utility, ambitious founders, and systems where blockchain materially changes financial or computing coordination.

Einar Braathen

Partner

82%

CoinFund

Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. CoinFund attributes pre-seed, seed, and Series A deals to Einar, but disclosed round totals are company financings and not his personal allocation authority.

Einar backs foundational technology that decentralizes scarce AI resources or rebuilds financial rails onchain. His portfolio connects open compute and model ownership, verifiable AI, permanent data, cross-chain liquidity, stablecoin payments, and institutional prediction-market infrastructure. He favors technically ambitious early teams addressing a structural bottleneck, with a credible path from an initial developer or institutional wedge to an open network that scales access, freedom, and knowledge.

James Kibbie

81%

Galaxy Ventures

Check: Galaxy Ventures Fund I closed at more than $175M and invests at early stages, but Galaxy does not publish a standard personal ticket range for James. His Principal role and official promotion establish independent deal-lead capability, not unilateral fund authority.

James backs crypto-native financial infrastructure that delivers real utility inside global financial systems. His work centers on stablecoins, payment cards, onchain capital markets and software that fixes inefficient data or settlement flows. Recent investments favor companies that pair blockchain rails with familiar products, strong distribution and measurable growth rather than asking customers to adopt crypto for its own sake.

80%

Check: Tangent describes itself as a principal investment firm making concentrated liquid and early-stage bets, but does not publish a dependable check range. Confirm whether Jason is investing personally or through Tangent, plus allocation, stage, structure and portfolio concentration.

Jason seeks inflection points in crypto and adjacent frontier technology through Tangent's three concise themes: zero-to-one use cases, coordination networks and markets for everything. His public investing writing adds a disciplined counterweight to conviction—truth-seeking, dissent, repeated small process wins and risk sizing matter more than the ego and survivorship bias of a single heroic trade.

Chris Ahn

Haun Ventures

Check: No reliable Chris-specific ticket range is public. Haun invests from seed through scale and announced $1 billion of new early- and later-stage capital in May 2026; round evidence includes leading or co-leading seed, Series A and an $82M growth financing, but round size is not the same as Haun's check.

Chris backs community-led and crypto-enabled businesses where open technology creates a durable advantage and a credible business model. His work focuses on the infrastructure of globally programmable finance—stablecoin payments and FX, secure blockspace, onchain real-world assets, business accounts, custody and long-duration Bitcoin products—while testing whether governance, monetization and scale mechanics actually fit the product.

White Star Capital Digital Asset Fund

Check: No personal or Digital Asset Fund ticket range is published on the cited official pages. White Star describes this strategy as investing globally across Seed, Series A and token rounds; Arjun's Associate title does not establish independent signing authority.

Arjun invests from White Star's research-driven Digital Asset Fund, combining a crypto-native lens with traditional venture analysis. His named portfolio spans trading infrastructure (Enclave and QuantStrat), stablecoin and cross-border fintech (Munify and Sugar), and physical or energy infrastructure software (Fluxco and Standard Electron), suggesting an applied-infrastructure orientation rather than a narrow token-only mandate.

NGC Ventures

Check: No first-party personal or firm check range is published. Third-party directories repeat a $100K–$5M estimate, but it is excluded here because NGC's own site does not substantiate it; founders should confirm stage and ticket directly.

Wayne's record points to foundational network investing informed by public-market research: he supported Solana and Algorand early, before their ecosystems became established, and NGC's current portfolio spans base layers, infrastructure, DeFi, data, compute and interchain systems. His likely edge is connecting protocol economics and technical roadmaps to market adoption across Asian and global ecosystems.

CoinFund

Check: No personal or standard check range is publicly disclosed. CoinFund's portfolio identifies Bobby as a deal lead/sponsor alongside David Pakman on Monkey Tilt's 2025 Series B, but that transaction does not establish a reusable individual ticket or sole authority.

Bobby invests where programmable incentives and permissionless coordination can form new information, financial, infrastructure and machine-agent markets. His current scope joins early DeFi and DePIN experience with the agentic economy, and he emphasizes distribution and adoption as much as technical novelty. His token-design work suggests attention to whether incentives create durable participation rather than transient activity.

ParaFi Capital

Check: No personal venture check range is disclosed. Kevin leads quantitative strategies and technology development inside a multi-strategy manager spanning public and private markets; founders should not infer a standard venture ticket or sole decision authority from the Partner title.

Kevin approaches digital assets as both a quantitative portfolio manager and a systems builder. His remit joins non-directional and fundamental market strategies with production technology, while his public discussions cover stablecoin risk, institutional adoption and the engineering of blockchain infrastructure. The through-line is measurable market behavior, robust implementation and portfolio construction rather than a venture-only mandate.

gumi Cryptos Capital

Check: A December 2019 gCC FAQ said the firm typically wrote $250K–$1M checks. Treat this only as a dated historical range, not a current promise: gCC subsequently raised a $110M Fund II and has not published an updated range on its current site. Confirm stage, instrument, ownership and reserves directly.

Rui leads an early-stage, crypto-native firm with a builder-centric, long-time-preference and high-conviction approach. gCC invests across the blockchain stack, with particular application interest in financial services and gaming and broader interest in foundational protocols that use blockchain for a significant competitive advantage. Rui's gaming, VR/AR, social-network and founder background supports a product and global expansion lens.

Maven 11 Capital

Check: Maven 11 does not publish Darius's personal check range or decision authority. Third-party investor databases estimate ranges, but those figures are not treated as verified evidence. The current firm describes an early-stage venture strategy without attaching a check range to him.

Darius works within Maven 11's crypto-native, early-stage strategy. The firm backs technically fluent founders who challenge the status quo by redefining ownership through open, inclusive, permissionless networks. Its current third-fund focus has shifted from foundational rails toward founders using those rails to reinvent credit, payments, stablecoins, and trading. Darius's own public comments emphasize extensive research into the actual product and business case rather than following a crowded token market.

Hashed

Check: No verified personal or current Hashed check range is published for Sean. Hashed invests its own resources from day zero through global scale, but vehicle, allocation, token/equity mix, ownership, reserves and Sean's role in a decision should be confirmed directly.

Sean's distinctive contribution is financial rigor inside Hashed's builder-led frontier-technology platform. His private-equity and non-marketable-securities valuation background is most relevant when a crypto or AI company must connect technical ambition to sound financing, valuation, governance, reporting, treasury and a durable institutional path. This is a role-derived lens, not a claimed personal investment thesis.

Greenfield Capital

Check: No Anies-specific check size is public. Greenfield has led or co-led seed rounds in companies covered by his publications, but announced round size is not the firm's check and cannot establish his personal allocation. Founders should confirm current vehicle, stage, ownership and reserves directly.

Anies looks for crypto infrastructure that coordinates real economic activity: public blockchains modernizing capital markets, privacy-preserving compliance for institutional DeFi, security systems that respond to onchain threats, purpose-built networks for machines and stablecoin settlement that improves fragmented internet infrastructure. The recurring standard is that crypto must solve coordination, access, security or capital formation better than a conventional database or payment rail.

Yoann Turpin

Wintermute Ventures

Check: Wintermute Ventures currently publishes flexible $500K–$5M+ global investments, primarily Seed and Series A, using proprietary capital and often leading or co-leading. This is a firm range—not Yoann's personal promise—and the firm also makes selective later-stage investments.

Yoann brings high-frequency trading, hedge-fund and family-office experience to a proprietary-capital venture platform built around Wintermute's market infrastructure. The firm backs category-defining financial and enterprise technologies across the crypto value chain where its trading, liquidity, governance, integration and treasury expertise can materially accelerate long-term adoption.

NGC Ventures

Check: NGC does not publish a verified personal check range for Kay. The firm describes early-stage Web3 infrastructure investing and research support; founders should confirm the applicable vehicle, initial token/equity structure, ownership and reserves directly.

Kay backs technically ambitious infrastructure founders, with disclosed investments spanning zero-knowledge scaling, modular data availability, decentralized grants and on-chain agreements. His software background and on-chain participation fit NGC's broader long-term thesis: solve a real blockchain bottleneck with a simple, fast, affordable and distinctive design, then work hands-on from technical strategy to adoption.

Check: Firm-level public estimate: $100K-$5M; typical check around $1.5M

Ilag is CMT Digital's Investment Partner and Head of Asia, investing through the firm's early-stage blockchain strategy. His published Tazapay thesis favors full-stack cross-border payment infrastructure that connects real-time local rails with stablecoins while directly owning licensing, liquidity, compliance, and settlement complexity.

Evans leads gCC's Asia strategy with a consumer-crypto and multi-chain background. His prior portfolio and current mandate point to high-conviction early-stage founders building foundational Web3 layers or applications where blockchain provides a meaningful competitive advantage, especially digital entertainment, consumer infrastructure, decentralized applications, middleware and cross-ecosystem products in Asia.

Check: Faction does not publish a standard check range or Clara's personal allocation authority. Its official mandate is Seed and Series A investments across equity and tokens; public round sizes must not be mistaken for Faction's check size.

Clara invests within Faction's early-stage, crypto-native mandate: Seed and Series A projects across the stack, in equity or tokens, that create fundamental utility and push the industry forward. Public portfolio tracking associates her with Fiamma, Pharos, and FLock.io, signaling interest in Bitcoin cryptography, high-performance blockchain infrastructure, and decentralized AI; those associations are treated as portfolio signals rather than a complete personal mandate.

Check: No official standard check size or personal approval limit is published. CMT Digital closed Fund IV at $136M in November 2025 and described it as an early-stage vehicle for blockchain infrastructure and applications; that fund size should not be converted into a presumed ticket for Doug.

Doug invests where crypto improves financial-market reach and capital efficiency, with Asia as a primary growth market. His Tazapay thesis favors full-stack payment infrastructure that owns licenses, liquidity, compliance and local rails while integrating stablecoins invisibly. More broadly, he is underwriting stablecoins, tokenized equities, perpetuals and prediction markets as extensions of markets beyond legacy geographic and operating constraints.

Ryan's public investing perspective joins crypto-native opportunity with institutional finance and regulatory execution. He treats rising scrutiny as evidence of a maturing market and argues that sustainable blockchain businesses must balance innovation with compliance, engage regulators proactively, and build infrastructure that can connect institutions, founders, developers, and users across Asian and global markets.

Hallene takes a generalist, early-stage approach within blockchain, spanning DeFi, stablecoins and payments, DePIN, sector-specific chains, and core infrastructure. Public interviews emphasize portfolio construction, long-term founder relationships, and the conviction that more global financial activity will move onto blockchain rails.

Ray now chairs listed MemeStrategy (HKEX: 2440), while also leading 9GAG and Memeland; distinguish personal investments from Memeland venture-studio activity and public-company balance-sheet or strategic investments, each with different governance and disclosure requirements.

Ray invests and builds where internet culture, community and emerging technology reinforce one another. His current thesis is that regulated, transparent public-market infrastructure can bridge Web2 and Web3, while authentic cultural IP and organic communities become more valuable as AI makes generic content abundant. The strongest opportunities turn shared identity into durable products and real-world utility, not only speculative attention.

78%

Check: No reliable personal check range is public. Bobby has invested personally and through the CoinGecko ecosystem, but founders should confirm whether an opportunity is considered as an angel, through CoinGecko Ventures or another vehicle, plus current stage, size and decision process.

Bobby's investing lens grows out of building CoinGecko into independent crypto-market data infrastructure through multiple market cycles. His disclosed activity favors early products in DeFi, data, infrastructure and consumer crypto where founders understand market structure, serve real users and benefit from reliable information, ecosystem reach and long-term survival rather than one-cycle attention.

Yuna invests within Taisu's chain- and region-agnostic early-stage Web3 mandate, spanning infrastructure, DeFi, gaming and consumer platforms. Her personal background adds end-to-end deal execution, portfolio strategy, investment banking and corporate-development experience across a family office, Matrixport, Bitdeer, IOSG and Golden Gate Ventures; no separate personal manifesto is public.

Tommy is a DeFi investor focused on the market structure beneath onchain trading. His recent work treats perpetuals and prediction markets as durable but still immature markets, with the best opportunities in deeper liquidity, better routing, collateral efficiency, differentiated assets and infrastructure that turns high headline volume into resilient product economics.

Signum Capital

Check: No reliable public personal or fund check range is published. Signum manages two active MAS-licensed funds, including the co-managed UOB-Signum Blockchain Fund, and invests through token and equity structures; no standard ticket or YY-specific signing threshold is inferred.

YY backs crypto-native infrastructure and applications capable of becoming a new trust layer for society, then helps founders cross from technical community adoption into mainstream products and Asian markets. His incubation history makes the thesis hands-on: validate the use case, connect founders to partners and investors, build developer mindshare and refine growth strategy rather than supplying capital alone.

Ian applies a risk, financial-modeling and operating lens to early crypto companies and protocols. Within Signum's broader thesis, he assesses infrastructure and crypto-native products that can make the internet more open and intelligent, reduce economic friction and enable more flexible coordination, while tracking whether portfolio execution supports those ambitions.

Check: No personal ticket or signing authority is published. Cadenza's dedicated early-stage AI fund is $50M and targets pre-seed and seed opportunities; the separate blockchain strategy has also invested across early stages. Fund size should not be treated as Andrew's individual check range.

Andrew's reported Cadenza remit sits at the intersection of blockchain, AI and deep technical infrastructure. His electrical-engineering training, NASA flight-electronics work, TMT investment-banking experience and institutional investment analysis provide a useful diligence mix for AI infrastructure, security, decentralized systems and technical enterprise products. This is an evidence-based role synthesis, not a published personal thesis.

Danny's edge is the full lifecycle after an investment: portfolio construction, operating support, board work, M&A, monetization and secondary liquidity. His current stablecoin activity points to institutional-grade protocols that bridge traditional finance and public blockchains with verifiable reserves, rigorous onboarding and real treasury, settlement or collateral use cases.

Ben invests where crypto infrastructure unlocks broad consumer adoption. His operator, CFA and globally distributed background supports founders at the earliest stage who use crypto's coordination and ownership properties to create usable products, while Bankless's brand, community and distribution can help turn technical primitives into an adopted ecosystem.

Rocky invests within LongHash Ventures' frontier-technology mandate at the convergence of AI, robotics and digital assets. The firm's portfolio and accelerator history emphasize early protocols and applications across infrastructure, DeFi, identity, data, social, gaming and middleware, with hands-on ecosystem bootstrapping, product definition, tokenomics, governance and community development.

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. Hack VC says it partners at the earliest stages across crypto, AI and frontier technology, and the firm led GAIB's seed round; neither the round nor third-party ticket estimates establish Herbie's standard or unilateral check authority.

Herbie invests at the intersection of crypto, AI and productive infrastructure. His GAIB thesis treats compute as a scarce commodity that can become an investable, yield-producing on-chain asset, financing cloud and data-center growth while opening participation in AI economics. His prior fund-building and advisory work across Asia supports a cross-border ecosystem lens as well as a founder/operator perspective.

Electric Capital

Check: Electric Capital publishes a firm-level $1M–$15M+ range from pre-seed through Series A. Trevor's current page gives no personal check range, deal attribution or mandate detail beyond Investor, so the firm range must not be presented as his individual authority.

Trevor applies a long quantitative-investing background to Electric's engineer-led frontier-technology mandate. His prior roles across multi-strategy, retirement, institutional asset-management and index-investing organizations support a lens grounded in data, portfolio construction and risk. Electric has not published a more specific personal thesis, so sector detail beyond the firm mandate remains appropriately limited.

Jack evaluates blockchain projects through their economic and social mechanisms. His official remit emphasizes whether decentralized consensus, incentive provision, industrial organization and smart-contract market structure create stable behavior under real strategic actors. His parallel builder record around decentralized auctions and Bitcoin finance reinforces a practical interest in turning mechanism design into functioning markets rather than treating tokens as narrative alone.
