Investment thesis
Hercules invests in Web3 startups built around the attention economy and the creation of new categories. It believes attention is a scarce, valuable resource and backs projects that capture and monetize user attention through decentralized platforms, immersive experiences, and novel incentive mechanisms. The fund also supports category leaders and early movers that establish sustainable ecosystems in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and core infrastructure. Its priority verticals include decentralized identity solutions, gaming intellectual property and tokenized in-game assets, core blockchain infrastructure such as protocols and interoperability layers, capital-efficient DeFi, and new ecosystem layers built on Bitcoin including layer-2 scaling and Bitcoin-native applications.
