The emergence of bitcoin and subsequent blockchain technologies has generated a new digital asset class in which scarcity is based on mathematical properties. Through cryptographic verification and game-theoretic equilibrium, blockchain-based digital assets can be created, issued, and transmitted using software. Polychain is an investment firm committed to exceptional returns for investors through actively managed portfolios of these blockchain assets.

Our vision for the web is that it becomes more decentralised, immutable and permanent. We want to support entrepreneurs upgrading the internet.

The empowerment of users: entrepreneurs have long been democratising technology; that, in turn is democratising capabilities, empowering users and organisations to do things they couldn’t before, or do them a lot better, cheaper and faster. Over time these enabling technologies can evolve into meaningful platforms and / or networks. Even though a lot of empowerment has happened through desktop and mobile internet, we think we are just getting started.

The liberation of data: entrepreneurs can make data more free, usable, portable and positively influence the balance of power over data. We think a lot of interesting things will happen at the intersection of control, value and meaning from data for both individuals and organisations.

So we are trying not to think of the world too much in terms of specific sectors — but rather what the macro level economic and social changes are that technology is driving. There are a few other things we are excited about and we’ll make sure to keep an open mind. And of course we are most excited about the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs every day. This is why we get out of bed in the morning and don’t mind chewing through a topic on 2am on a Saturday morning.

At its core BlueYard is a product for entrepreneurs, everything follows from that. That is our guiding principle.

Spark Capital takes risks on exceptional founders and the products they design. We believe the world can never get enough magical products and experiences. Making them requires a balance of art and technology, as well as a maniacal focus on delivering joy to the people who use them. We believe amazing products can create markets, not just find market fit. The people who make those products are creative, high-energy and are more often than not on a mission. They are technologists with the heart of an artist. Spark partners with visionary entrepreneurs who are driven to move people with the products and experiences they create. We invest in companies at all stages of their life cycle. Our most recent funds include a $400 million early-stage venture fund and a $600 million venture growth fund. In total we have $3 billion under management. We have offices in San Francisco, Boston and New York.

Initialized Capital is a San Francisco-based early stage venture capital firm with over $500M in assets under management.

We're founders and builders who are here to help others like us build meaningful businesses. We focus on investing in high-potential software startups at seed stage and earlier, and are happy to be the first investors in early teams run by great engineers, designers and product founders. 

We've helped more founders build startups at the earliest possible stage than most anyone you'll meet, and that means we can help startups avoid the 1,000 landmines that can cause certain failure. It certainly won't guarantee success (as we all know there's no such thing in startups) but at the seed stage we've seen many cases where having the right investors will improve your chances significantly. 

In the end, we started this firm to help people like ourselves build companies that matter. A lot of great investors, advisors, founders, and friends have helped us along the way. We're just here to pay it forward.

a16z crypto is a $300M venture fund that will invest in crypto companies and protocols. Our fund is designed to include the best features of traditional venture capital, updated to the modern crypto world:

We are long-term, patient investors. We’ve been investing in crypto assets for 5+ years. We’ve never sold any of those investments, and don’t plan to any time soon. We structured the a16z crypto fund to be able to hold investments for 10+ years.

We have an “all weather” fund. We plan to invest consistently over time, regardless of market conditions. If there is another “crypto winter,” we’ll keep investing aggressively.

We provide operational support to entrepreneurs. Our crypto investments have access to the same 80+ person a16z operating teams as do our non-crypto investments. Our operating teams have deep expertise in executive and technical recruiting, regulatory affairs, communications and marketing, and general startup management. We are responsible participants in the governance of companies and the governance of networks.

We are flexible with respect to stage, asset type, and geography. One reason we created a new fund is to have maximum flexibility. We invest at all stages, from early stage projects to fully developed later-stage networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. We’ll invest in traditional financial instruments like equity or convertible notes, and new instruments including the direct purchase of coins/tokens. Crypto is a global phenomenon, with great projects all around the world, and we’ll invest accordingly.

We are focused on non-speculative use cases. We want services powered by crypto protocols to be used by hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people. Crypto tokens are the native asset class of digital networks, but their value is driven by the underlying, practical uses cases.
