Investment thesis

Interop invests in exceptional founders building the interconnected blockchain systems it believes will underpin the future of global finance. The firm holds that scalability, security, and interoperability are the cornerstones of DeFi's potential, and centers its approach on three principles: sovereignty as the basis for financial and data independence and decentralization; modularity, where shifting from monolithic to modular systems allows independent optimization of execution, data availability, and consensus; and composability, where open, stackable protocols let anyone launch new financial primitives and markets without gatekeepers. It aims to identify and underwrite the infrastructure supporting the interchain economy.

Cherubic Ventures

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
