Investment thesis

CoinFund invests in open networks and decentralized technology, believing such networks redistribute power by making previously gated systems permissionless, accessible, and efficient. The firm targets more durable and equitable technology across finance, infrastructure, and AI. Founded in 2015 by early believers in decentralization who researched blockchain from first principles, CoinFund aims to go beyond writing checks by actively helping founders build long-lasting, sustainable, fundamentally valuable businesses. Its team combines experience across engineering, finance, venture investing, and deep tech, and its leaders position themselves as company builders who partner closely with the founders they back.
