Deep dives
The Genesis of Blockchain Capital
Blockchain Capital was founded a decade ago with the vision that the blockchain industry would expand beyond Bitcoin. To maximize long-term opportunities, they launched a venture firm, even charging no fees or carry for their first fund. This unconventional approach allowed them to build rapport and relationships with early founders and create a network that facilitated collaboration. Now, after 10 years, they have announced two new funds totaling $580 million, focusing on early-stage and mid-to-late-stage investments in the blockchain industry.
