Investment thesis
Vibecap invests at the intersection of AI, Web3, and deep tech, which it views as reaching the inflection points of their exponential growth curves. Combined with macro pressures from demographic and climate change, the firm believes traditional power structures will fade, creating an opportunity to deploy capital toward more equitable, beneficial, transparent, and accessible structures. It emphasizes a strong founder-focused approach, sourcing deals through active presence in Discords, Telegrams, and hacker houses, offering operational and emotional support to founders, and seeking early access to exceptional founders and protocols.
