Our DNA is composed of academic and regulatory drivers of the blockchain economy as well as ambitious entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. With over 30 direct investments into blockchain companies under our belt and deep insights in blockchain business models, we felt that it was time to pool resources and move our commitment up a notch.
Under the umbrella of the Blockchain Founders Group, we focus on two activities:
As a company builder, we turn blockchain ideas into companies after having vetted them thoroughly with our entrepreneurs in residence and advisors. This way, we have set up 10 startups in the last 12 months.
As a venture capital investor, we finance founder teams in the pre-seed/seed stage in the traditional venture capital way coupled with our understanding and active commitment as co-founders. We invested in 6 startups in the last 12 months.
We accelerate outstanding blockchain-related founder teams with pre-Seed/Seed investments of up to €250k. Our regional focus is mainly in Europe.
We combine a deep understanding of blockchain opportunities with the entrepreneurial experience to implement them.
We have access to a wide deal funnel from our academic research, investor base, venture capital, and entrepreneurial network.
Our founders have made over 25 private investments in blockchain companies. As entrepreneurs, they have successfully built and exited large businesses.
We are honored to count some of the brightest minds in the blockchain industry as partners, advisors, and co-investors.
We offer smart and driven individuals the opportunity to become a co-founder after having worked with us on the validation and setup of promising blockchain business models.
