Investment thesis
Bloccelerate VC operates on a 'trust over the wire' thesis, viewing blockchain as the next major inflection point in wealth creation following prior breakthroughs like electricity, the telegraph, telephone, and the internet. The firm believes blockchain enables multiple parties to agree on a single version of truth without relying on intermediaries, dramatically reducing the cost of coordinating economic activity and disrupting multi-billion dollar industries while creating entirely new ones within an emerging self-sovereign Web 3.0 economy. Its mission is to find, invest in, and support category-defining companies built on blockchain. The firm takes a research-driven approach to spotting trends and market gaps and partners with top universities to source developer talent for portfolio companies.
