Investment thesis
Y2Z Ventures is a crypto-native firm that believes the next generation of the internet will be built on open protocols, token-based coordination, and community-owned infrastructure. It backs founders who prioritize genuine utility and gameplay over token speculation, seeking products people would use even without a token. The firm invests at the early stages and provides ongoing support drawing on its own experience, focusing on six areas: social protocols, gaming, infrastructure, DeFi, data, and commerce.
