NGC Ventures invests in early-stage Web3 and blockchain infrastructure startups and projects, backing visionary teams building the next generation of decentralized technologies. The firm identifies projects with disruptive innovation that solve real problems through simplicity, cost affordability, speed, uniqueness, and a compelling product-market fit — spanning DeFi, L1/L2 blockchains, decentralized computing, AI, DePin, metaverse, and tooling. Founded in 2017 and managing over $500M in AUM, NGC takes a long-term, hands-on approach — supporting portfolio companies through market access, go-to-market strategy, recruiting, technical expertise, and regulatory guidance. The firm also invests in research at institutions such as NUS, NTU, and UC Berkeley, and makes fund-of-funds investments in complementary Web3 funds to extend its network and resources.
Notable quotes
“As a firm, we invest not just in people, companies, or technologies, but look broadly at the future of financial technology as a whole. We do everything we can to help blockchain projects with a pragmatic approach to expanding their global reach.”
“Though last year's bear market and scepticism surrounding ICOs may have led businesses and consumers to question the industry's long-term viability, I believe it also propelled the industry towards greater stability. Gone were the weaker projects and bad actors who merely sought quick wins in the hopes of cashing in on the rise in crypto. Instead, we saw and will continue to see, the emergence of projects with a strong and sustainable proposition, experienced teams, and projects grounded in the development of real-world and compelling use cases.”
“2019 already seems to be a promising year for blockchain technology. With projects increasingly moving away from a 'blockchain-for-everything' approach to implementation, we are beginning to see a more sophisticated industry emerge — one that has tremendous potential, both jointly and autonomously, for cryptocurrency and its underlying technology.”
