The Web 3 Angel Investors You’re Looking For

We are a collective of experienced operators and founders behind some of the largest projects and protocols in Web 3.

We invest capital in ten teams per year seeking to fundamentally change we humans transact, connect, and interact in a self-sovereign Internet.

Our goal is simple: to be the the most value-add investor on any cap table per dollar bringing Web 3 to the masses.

We offer friendly terms, expert advice, do not have external investors, and most importantly, do not spray-and-pray.

We helped built some of the most used protocols in crypto.

Let us help you do the same.

  • "...carved out a unique segment of the venture market. Whilst some investors are too large and spread to thin to provide tangible value at the early stage, their structure of angel investing with prop capital into only high conviction ideas enables them to support founders unlike any other investment firm I've come across. I can't think of a higher value add per dollar on your cap table and would recommend them to anyone."

    Guy Young, founder of Ethena
