With a global investment mandate, the firm provides strategic financial backing to high-growth companies developing solutions within this evolving digital asset ecosystem. They aim to support ventures building essential infrastructure, fostering interoperability, and addressing critical challenges such as custody and security within the blockchain space.
The firm spun out from Golden Gate Ventures in August 2018, co-founded by Kenrick Drijkoningen, previously Golden Gate Ventures' Head of Growth. Drijkoningen's foundational insight recognized blockchain as a transformative technology, akin to the early internet, and identified an opportune moment to invest as the industry matured and valuations stabilized, moving beyond its pioneering phase.

Their long-term vision centers on driving the next phase of adoption and innovation within the blockchain industry, seeking out scalable solutions that will elevate the entire sector.
