Nihal Maunder

Managing Director

HongShan

Check: No current person-specific HSG check size is publicly disclosed. Historical Pantera work spans early-stage through growth, but those prior fund parameters should not be assumed to apply to his HSG role.

Nihal's current HSG mandate is not yet public, so the defensible personal thesis comes from his prior first-person and attributed work: blockchain can extend open finance and coordination into payments, tokenization, consumer applications and open AI; early-stage decisions remain founder-led, with resilience through market cycles, practical utility and strong local-market understanding carrying more weight than hype.

Chris Perkins

Head of Franklin Crypto

Franklin Templeton

Check: Franklin Crypto offers actively managed cryptocurrency strategies to institutional investors; it does not publish a personal venture check range for Chris. His current remit spans liquid digital-asset portfolio management rather than a disclosed startup check mandate, so past CoinFund round sizes are not used as a proxy.

Chris bridges crypto-native markets and traditional institutional finance. As Head of Franklin Crypto, he leads active digital-asset strategies across tokens, protocols, and fintech opportunities. His published work concentrates on financial convergence: creating institution-ready rates, derivatives, custody, clearing, stablecoin, tokenization, and regulatory infrastructure that gives digital markets familiar risk-management tools while preserving their open, programmable advantages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ARK Invest

Check: Not applicable as a personal founder check. Raye is a digital-assets research associate supporting ARK's managed investment strategies; the cited sources do not establish personal venture check-writing authority or a standard startup ticket.

Raye analyzes how cryptoassets can disrupt legacy financial systems, with particular depth in stablecoin architecture and DeFi application economics. He evaluates networks and tokens through reserves, legal claims, peg resilience, governance, accessibility, incentives and value capture, while tracking the shift of economic activity from base layers toward applications such as exchanges, lending, cards, prediction markets and tokenized assets.

Samir Kerbage

Chief Investment Officer

88%

Hashdex

Check: Samir is a public/liquid-markets asset manager rather than a disclosed venture check writer. Hashdex publishes fund and index methodologies, not a personal startup check range; pitches should concern investable assets, indexes, products, research, or institutional partnerships rather than assume venture capital authority.

Samir views crypto as a long-horizon technology and asset-class allocation rather than a short-term trade. His framework has two complementary pillars: bitcoin maturing as a scarce store of value and macro asset, and smart-contract networks becoming financial infrastructure for stablecoins, tokenization, payments, DeFi, and staking. He favors diversified, transparent, rules-based access to mature liquid assets and evaluates adoption through economic utility, network effects, market infrastructure, regulatory progress, and portfolio contribution.

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.

Eylon Aviv

Partner

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.

CV VC

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.

David Gan

Founding General Partner

Inception Capital

Check: Inception does not publish a David-specific check range on its live site. A 2026 interview described an $80M platform split between a $50M venture fund and $30M fund-of-funds, but vehicle size is not personal check size. Founders should ask directly about current round, ownership and reserve fit.

David runs a dual strategy: direct early-stage venture investments and backing emerging fund managers, sometimes through management-company or GP stakes. His edge is an East-West network connecting U.S. innovation and institutional capital with Asian adoption, builders and liquidity. He favors globally trained founders, emerging-market financial infrastructure and long-duration themes such as stablecoins, tokenization, automated finance and the intersection of AI and Web3.

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.

Darius Rugys

Partner

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.

HashKey Capital

Check: Not publicly disclosed. HashKey Capital invests through venture and liquid strategies across the blockchain ecosystem; founders should confirm vehicle and sizing directly.

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.
