Investment thesis
DeepTech Ventures invests in Web3 companies, protocols, and networks across the entire technology stack, backing both infrastructure that strengthens the Web3 stack and applications that create new markets or disrupt existing business models. The firm invests through equity, tokens, SAFEs, and SAFTs, and actively participates in the networks it backs via governance voting, liquidity provision, keeper operations, and running its own nodes. Operating since 2017, the team draws on backgrounds in economics, finance, and software development, pursuing a vision of an internet where users regain control of their data — 'ours to own.'
