Investment thesis
Blockchain Builders Fund invests at the early stage in crypto and Web3 startups, focusing on founders connected to Stanford's blockchain ecosystem. The team draws on its roles across Stanford's Blockchain Accelerator, BASS events, the MS&E447 Blockchain Entrepreneurship course, and the alumni club to source and support founders. Beyond capital, the fund emphasizes founder-first, hands-on support: strategic introductions, access to the Stanford crypto community, help closing partnerships, and distribution through flagship events such as BASS and ETH SF. It positions itself as a partner working alongside founders from day one.
