Blockchain Capital：A Long-Term Partner for the Future of Web3 and Open Finance
Early Origins as a Crypto-Dedicated Venture Firm
Blockchain Capital launched one of the first venture capital funds dedicated specifically to cryptocurrency builders in 2013, at a time when the industry was still in its experimental early days. Since then, the firm has remained focused on blockchain and Web3 technologies through multiple market cycles, building deep conviction around the founders, protocols, and applications that are shaping the next generation of the internet and open finance. Today, Blockchain Capital manages over 2 billion dollars in assets under management and invests actively out of its sixth multi-stage fund, backing teams from seed through later-stage growth rounds. Its portfolio spans core infrastructure, base layers and scaling solutions, DeFi, Web3 applications, gaming, developer tools, security, and other categories that together form the foundation of a programmable, permissionless financial system.
Research-Driven Investment and a Consistent Value Proposition
The firm’s value proposition is intentionally simple and has remained consistent over time: leverage hard-earned industry experience, conduct rigorous research, and always put founders and their teams first. Having operated exclusively in the crypto and blockchain space for more than a decade, Blockchain Capital has witnessed several boom-and-bust cycles, shifting regulatory landscapes, and successive waves of technological innovation. This history allows the firm to distinguish between short-lived hype and structural innovation that can endure over the long term. Before making an investment, Blockchain Capital engages in a thorough due diligence process that includes technical code review, protocol architecture analysis, token and economic design review, and a close examination of governance, incentive alignment, security assumptions, and market structure. This research-driven approach enables the firm to partner with builders who are not only solving important problems, but who also have a credible path to sustainable growth.
A Founder-First Approach to Long-Term Company Building
Putting founders first is at the core of how Blockchain Capital operates. The firm views each investment as the beginning of a long-term partnership rather than a purely financial transaction. It works closely with portfolio teams on product strategy, tokenomics, hiring key early team members, organizational design, global go-to-market planning, and navigating regulatory and compliance questions that are unique to the digital asset industry. With a multi-stage capital base, Blockchain Capital is able to support companies as they evolve from small, technically focused teams into global organizations, providing continuity and strategic guidance at each phase of growth. The firm also opens doors to its network of exchanges, infrastructure providers, institutional partners, and other investors, helping founders accelerate execution in an increasingly competitive environment.
Contributions to the Web3 Community and Industry Leadership
Beyond its role as an investor, Blockchain Capital sees itself as an active participant in the broader Web3 builder community. The firm regularly publishes research and market perspectives to help entrepreneurs and developers orient themselves in a complex and fast-moving ecosystem. It participates in industry events, governance processes, and community discussions around key protocols, contributing not only capital but also thought leadership to the space. As regulation, technology, and market structure continue to evolve, Blockchain Capital’s long-standing presence in the industry enables it to provide founders with grounded, practical advice on how to build resilient businesses that can thrive over the long term.
A Long-Term Vision for the Next Era of Crypto Innovation
Looking ahead, Blockchain Capital remains convinced that many of the most important crypto projects are still in their early stages. Its mission is to identify and support the builders who are creating foundational infrastructure, new financial rails, and user experiences that can bring the benefits of Web3 to hundreds of millions of people. By combining deep sector experience, disciplined research, and a founder-first mindset, Blockchain Capital strives to be a trusted partner to crypto entrepreneurs around the world and to contribute meaningfully to the growth of an open, programmable, and more inclusive global financial system。
