Bankless Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that focuses on Web3 and blockchain technologies, investing in pioneering startups exploring decentralized finance, layer-1 and layer-2 scaling solutions, zero-knowledge proofs, restaking protocols, and crypto-AI intersections. Their strategy involves deploying smaller checks, typically around $500K, to secure positions in competitive early-stage deals where larger VCs may not participate effectively.
Their most common stage is seed (80% of deals). Average disclosed round size is $9.1M (across 5 rounds with reported amounts).
