Investment thesis

Galaxy Ventures takes a thesis-driven approach to venture investing, believing that the next generation of the Internet will incorporate a permissionless financial layer, providing people with autonomous access to economic and cooperative opportunities. The firm invests in crypto's cutting-edge founders, technologies, and business models across software infrastructure, financialized applications, protocols, and consumer use cases — with a particular focus on stablecoins, payments, tokenization, DeFi, and blockchain scaling solutions. Starting in 2018 from Galaxy's balance sheet, the team has backed early-stage companies building foundational technology and financial primitives that underpin the onchain economy. With the close of Galaxy Ventures Fund I at over $175M, the firm doubled down on this thesis, combining venture capital with the full operational resources of Galaxy's global platform — spanning trading, staking, tokenization, asset management, custody, and investment banking — to offer portfolio companies an unmatched breadth of support.

Notable quotes

Starting in 2018, we began investing from Galaxy's balance sheet with a consistent thesis of backing early-stage companies building foundational technology and financial primitives that underpin and enable the onchain economy, from onchain payments and stablecoins to decentralized markets, L1/L2 protocols, and blockchain infrastructure.

During the first two years of building my company, I was in Galaxy's office all the time and they were a huge part of our product development.
