Hack VC is a thesis-driven venture capital firm that partners at the earliest stages with founders building the future of the Internet across crypto, AI, and other frontier technologies. The firm deploys capital from a few hundred thousand dollars into solo founders or incubations up to several millions for high-conviction bets, focusing on three core areas: Crypto × AI, Web3 Finance, and Web3 Infrastructure. As stated by co-founders Alex Pack and Ed Roman: 'We don't believe in narratives. Instead, we are thesis-driven and invest with fundamental conviction.' Specific theses include more secure web3 infrastructure (Move-based blockchains, restaking), capital-efficient and real-world DeFi (private credit on-chain, cryptodollar middleware), and the convergence of generative AI with blockchain infrastructure. Beyond capital, Hack VC offers a full-stack platform — hack.labs() (on-chain quant trading and liquidity provisioning), hack.summit() (130,000+ developer community across 157 countries), and deep operational support — to help founders get to market and go mainstream.
Notable quotes
“We don't believe in narratives. Instead, we are thesis-driven and invest with fundamental conviction.”
“We're a full-stack solution to help web3 startups win in the market. We begin by helping startups hire the right engineering team via our hackjobs.org community. Once the product is live, we evangelize it by emailing their content marketing to our 130,000 developer community. We then become early protocol users ourselves via Hack Labs.”
“Hack VC is, and always has been, a thesis-driven firm, and that mindset continues to guide how we spend our time, our capital, and our attention.”
