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.

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No individual check range is published. USV's firm-wide range is $1 million to $30 million, but Jared's special-advisor placement does not establish personal decision authority; the partnership discusses investments collectively without a vote.

Jared brings a repeat founder's consumer-product lens to networks at the intersection of AI and crypto. His published thesis favors strange, initially fringe behaviors that create genuinely new social and creative formats; AI tools that lower creation barriers; transparent economics that reward creators; open social protocols where users own identity, content, audience, and economic activity; and vertical search products that make expert knowledge broadly useful.

Greenfield Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield's venture mandate spans pre-seed through later stages; financing amounts in Felix's investment essays are company-round totals, not personal limits.

Felix uses research and market data to identify durable crypto infrastructure and distinguish fundamental adoption from speculation. His work favors protocols with measurable usage, revenue or value accrual; secure programmable ownership; credible governance; and infrastructure that connects decentralized finance with institutional and real-world assets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

AppWorks

Check: Not publicly disclosed for Beacon Funds commitments. AppWorks' direct-company strategy publishes US$200K to US$15M per deal from Seed through Series C; that range should not be applied to Jun's venture-fund investments.

Jun uses fund investments as ecosystem infrastructure: back locally connected or specialist managers, exchange market intelligence and diligence, create co-investment and follow-on capital paths, and help portfolio companies enter new Asian markets. In direct opportunities, his writing favors repeat founders with learned resilience, large problems native to Southeast Asia, sound unit economics, profitability and margin discipline, and teams able to adapt when the original model fails.

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.

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.

Blockchain Coinvestors / Fifth Era

Check: No Alison-specific check range is public. Blockchain Coinvestors has managed fund-of-funds and direct early-stage token strategies, but vehicle documents and historical target sizes are not personal check-size promises. Founders and managers should identify the relevant vehicle and confirm current allocation capacity.

Alison invests around technological change in financial services and the transition toward blockchain and Web3. Through Fifth Era and Blockchain Coinvestors she combines a fund-of-funds view of the crypto venture ecosystem with direct early-stage investing. Her executive and board career adds a governance lens: strategy, innovation, risk, financial controls and board effectiveness must mature alongside technology and growth.

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.

Lux Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Lux's USD 7B under management and disclosed company rounds are not Grace's personal range; she is explicitly described as a first-check and early investor.

Grace backs computational-science companies where software or AI transforms difficult physical, institutional, or technical systems. She looks for first-check opportunities in infrastructure and applications, including model platforms, developer tools, generative media, robotics, and AI-native enterprise workflows. Her product lens starts with a painful real-world experience and asks whether new fundamental technology enables an excellent end-to-end product, rather than an AI feature bolted onto an old workflow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sfermion

Check: Sfermion does not publish a first-party check-size range or Dan's individual authority. Public deal records show participation in seed and Series A rounds, but round totals and third-party estimates are not treated as his personal check size.

Dan co-leads Sfermion's investment strategy around the experiential internet: founders, companies, and digital assets that merge physical and digital life through web3, AI, AR, and VR. The firm's durable behavioral lens is creation, connection, and competition, with a portfolio orientation toward digital media, entertainment, games, creator infrastructure, and the systems that let communities own and exchange digital value.

Shorooq Partners

Check: Shorooq invests across the equity journey from pre-seed through late-stage growth, but neither the firm nor Kunal publishes his personal check range or decision authority. Portfolio round totals are not treated as check-size evidence.

Kunal supports Shorooq's fintech and web3 practice with an operator's perspective across the UK, UAE, and Africa. His remit fits the firm's founder-first strategy: backing regional companies from idea through scale and global frontier companies where technology modernizes financial access, payments, wealth, business operations, or digital ownership. Shorooq's blockchain thesis favors crypto augmenting existing consumer behavior and solving real-world problems rather than replacing useful behavior with complexity.

CV VC

Check: Not applicable to Jordan's startup-activation role. No personal check size or investment authority is public. Funding pitches should go to CV VC's named investment team or an official accelerator application, as appropriate.

Jordan's documented remit is startup activation at CV Labs: helping founders enter and navigate CV VC's blockchain ecosystem and programs. The role may touch sourcing, program delivery and founder readiness, but the official roster does not place Jordan on the investment team and no personal investment thesis is published.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Jessica's personal allocation range.

Jessica invests across Southeast Asian consumer internet and blockchain, especially where deep technology improves a familiar consumer behavior or unlocks a regional distribution advantage. Her portfolio and writing emphasize strong user experience, scalable community or network effects, methodical technical execution, and go-to-market models that can start bottom-up before expanding into larger enterprise or regional relationships.

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.

Mirana Ventures

Check: No Genevieve-specific check size is public. Mirana's current biography says she helps deploy the $100M Mantle Ecosystem Fund and make direct venture investments; fund size is not check size or personal authority. Confirm the applicable pool, stage, instrument and ownership directly.

Genevieve evaluates Web3 opportunities through both venture and protocol-design lenses. Her Mirana remit spans the Mantle Ecosystem Fund and direct investments, while her prior Delphi work centered on tokenomics, governance, protocol design, risk frameworks and research. The resulting lens favors products whose token and incentive systems create durable behavior, whose risks are explicit and whose ecosystem positioning supports real adoption.

MiddleGame Ventures

Check: MiddleGame Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its website.

Offline Ventures

Check: Offline Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.

Nate Bosshard invests or supports investments through Offline Ventures's published strategy: Back unusual founders and human-serving technology at pre-seed and seed, sometimes incubating in-house and contributing product, design and engineering support.

Offline Ventures

Check: Offline Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.

Matt Fischer invests or supports investments through Offline Ventures's published strategy: Back unusual founders and human-serving technology at pre-seed and seed, sometimes incubating in-house and contributing product, design and engineering support.

Offline Ventures

Check: Offline Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.

Max Ventilla is listed in a Entrepreneur in Residence capacity at Offline Ventures. The firm does not publish a person-specific investment thesis for this role; the profile preserves that role distinction and uses the firm's mandate only as shared context.

Offline Ventures

Check: Offline Ventures does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.

Yuri Namikawa invests or supports investments through Offline Ventures's published strategy: Back unusual founders and human-serving technology at pre-seed and seed, sometimes incubating in-house and contributing product, design and engineering support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cware Labs

Check: Not publicly applicable. Cware Labs describes investment packaging, fundraising, listing preparation and investor-community services but does not publish a standing fund, personal check range or allocation authority for Nick. Clarify whether an engagement is advisory, studio equity, fundraising support or an actual investment before discussing terms.

Nick's operating thesis is that Web3 and AI projects become investable when product, business model, tokenomics, documentation, positioning, growth strategy and fundraising execution form one coherent system. Cware embeds as a studio or adviser, scores readiness across fund-screening criteria and connects projects to specialized technical, security, liquidity, marketing and capital partners.

Hashed

Check: No verified personal or current Hashed check range is published on Tak's profile. Founders should confirm vehicle, stage, token/equity structure, geographic fit, lead appetite and reserves directly rather than using third-party estimates.

Tak brings a multilingual company-building and cross-border advisory lens to Hashed's crypto investment platform. His explicit remit is India and other emerging markets, making him most relevant to founders whose blockchain product solves a locally acute coordination, ownership, payments or access problem and can use regional distribution and ecosystem insight to grow beyond a single market.

gumi Cryptos Capital

Check: gCC's older first-party FAQ stated typical $250K–$1M checks at friends-and-family through pre-Series A, occasionally Series A. Treat this as historical firm guidance—not Evans's personal or necessarily current range—and confirm Fund II sizing, lead appetite and structure directly.

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.

CMT Digital

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.

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.

Check: No personal angel range is published. 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.

Check: No reliable personal angel range is published. QCP is an institutional digital-asset trading and asset-management group, not a conventional open venture fund, so founders should distinguish Darius's personal investment activity from QCP proprietary positions, partnerships and commercial services.

Darius views crypto as a frontier market progressing toward institutional maturity rather than as a purely speculative trade. His macro, derivatives and quantitative background supports opportunities that deepen market structure, connect DeFi and CeFi, improve liquidity and risk management, or turn digital assets into durable financial infrastructure. This is an operating and investing lens, not a published personal fund mandate.

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.

Taisu Ventures

Check: No person-specific or current firm check range is publicly disclosed. Taisu's live site states that it invests mainly from Seed through early stage, in both token and equity structures, and supports portfolio companies through later growth.

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.

Mirana Ventures

Check: Mirana's current official website publishes a broad firm-level range of $1M–$40M from Pre-Seed through Series C. No Darius-specific ticket or decision authority is public, so founders should treat that as firm context rather than his personal check size.

Darius works on Mirana's direct venture portfolio and brings a research and advisory lens to crypto infrastructure and markets. His coauthored Bitcoin Layers work frames Bitcoin's secure settlement layer as the base for L2/L3, data and application systems, while Mirana's current mandate backs Web3 founders and emerging managers across stages with strategic access to Bybit, Mantle and a global portfolio network.

Archetype

Check: No person-specific or current firm check size is publicly disclosed. Archetype is an early-stage crypto fund and its historical overview describes partnering from first check through Series A; founders should confirm fit directly.

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.

Signum Capital

Check: No reliable public personal or fund ticket range is available. Signum says it manages two active MAS-licensed vehicles—the Signum Capital Investment Fund and co-managed UOB-Signum Blockchain Fund—but does not publish a standard check size on the cited official pages.

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.

Cadenza

Check: No personal ticket or approval threshold is published. Cadenza's $50M early-stage AI fund targets pre-seed and seed opportunities, while its blockchain strategy has invested more broadly; those fund-level facts do not establish Kelly's individual authority.

Kelly's reported investment experience combines early-stage consumer work at Greycroft, early-growth SaaS and AI analysis at Enlight Growth Partners in Shanghai, and Cadenza's AI, fintech and blockchain mandate. That suggests a cross-border, product-and-growth lens on technical companies, especially where infrastructure enables a compelling consumer or enterprise experience. This is a background-based synthesis, not a published personal thesis.

Cadenza

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.

Galaxy Ventures

Check: Galaxy Ventures Fund I closed at more than $175M and invests across early-stage crypto companies. No standard check size or personal approval threshold is published for Danny; his public role also spans post-investment portfolio work and liquidity strategy.

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.

Check: No verified personal angel range is published. Ben's personal site says he supports founders at the earliest stage and Bankless Ventures invests early in crypto infrastructure and consumer adoption; distinguish his individual allocation from the fund's vehicle and confirm each directly.

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.

LongHash Ventures

Check: No Rocky-specific or current LongHash check range is published on the firm's live site. Accelerator cohort funding, total capital raised by alumni and portfolio round sizes are not equivalent to an investor check. Confirm fund, instrument, ownership and follow-on capacity directly.

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.

Ocular (Openspace Capital)

Check: No Derek-specific check range is public. Openspace states it invests in tech-native and tech-enabled Southeast Asian companies across early and growth stages, while Ocular historically invested in crypto funds and projects. Third-party range estimates are not treated as authority; confirm strategy and round fit directly.

Derek invests across Openspace's early-stage and frontier-technology work and contributes to Ocular's crypto research. His writing frames DeFi as a composable, open-source financial stack; studies underdeveloped risk protection; and tracks infrastructure that lets blockchains coordinate physical resources, private data and AI. The consistent lens is whether open technical primitives improve access, trust, composability or data utility in a commercially credible Southeast Asian or global market.
