ether.fi Ventures
Check: $500K–$1M, from a current public ether.fi Ventures fundraising statement. The live site positions Fund I at pre-seed through Series A and publishes ventures@ether.fi. Confirm allocation, instrument, ownership target and whether the fund will lead; the current site says $20M committed capital while the April 2025 launch post described $40M, so fund-size headlines should not be used to infer check capacity.
David backs technical, early-stage teams at the intersection of finance, AI and crypto that pair crypto-native properties with real adoption. His clearest current thesis is a two-layer build: first achieve web2-grade safety, recourse, fraud prevention and consumer experience; then use composability, programmable money, non-custodial ownership, transparency and global 24/7 access to deliver step-change utility. He favors strategic partnerships where ether.fi's users, liquidity, validator capacity and distribution materially improve a company's odds—not passive capital alone.
