Investment thesis

Darkside Capital invests at the seed stage in founders who champion an open internet and self-sovereignty. It targets startups working on open source technology, the WooCommerce ecosystem, the shift from physical to online services (such as online pharmacies, grocery, fitness, and consultations), Bitcoin and crypto, sustainable technology with modern design, energy generation and conservation, and food growth. The firm aims to help people become digitally self-sufficient and to build a fairer world, guided by values of fairness, freedom, transparency, and capitalism. It is also exploring investments in farmland for sustainable development.
