Interop
Venture capitalPre-Seed–Seed
Investment thesis
Interop invests in the infrastructure of interconnected blockchains, believing the internet of blockchains will underpin the future global economy and financial system. Active in the crypto ecosystem since 2013, the firm identifies and underwrites founders building systems for open finance. Its investment philosophy rests on three principles: sovereignty as the basis for financial and data independence and decentralization; modularity, where shifting from monolithic to modular architectures enables independent optimization of execution, data availability, and consensus; and composability, where open, stackable protocols let anyone launch new financial primitives and markets without gatekeepers. The firm emphasizes scalability, security, and interoperability as cornerstones of DeFi's potential.
