Investment thesis

Interop believes interconnected blockchains—an internet of blockchains—will underpin the global economy and trillions of dollars of value. The firm backs exceptional founders building the infrastructure supporting the future of decentralized finance. Its conviction rests on three principles: sovereignty as the foundation for financial and data independence and decentralization across chains, dapps, validators, tokenomics, and communities; modularity, where shifting from monolithic to modular systems enables independent optimization of execution, data availability, and consensus to improve performance and scalability; and composability, where open, stackable protocols let anyone launch new financial primitives and markets without gatekeepers. Active in the ecosystem since 2013, the firm emphasizes scalability, security, and interoperability as cornerstones of DeFi.

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.
