Investment thesis
New Layer Capital invests globally in equity across Pre-Seed to Series B stages, focusing on companies within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its areas of focus include energy, mining and advanced computing (Layer 0), Lightning Network and scalability (Layer 2+), artificial intelligence, financial services, privacy and security, and decentralized applications. The firm follows a patient-capital philosophy oriented toward long-term, risk-adjusted returns rather than short-term gains. Beyond capital, it positions itself as an active partner, supporting founders with commercial strategy, financial planning, and expansion, and encouraging collaboration among its portfolio companies to create mutual value.
