Prelude is a first-check crypto fund based in London, supporting entrepreneurs at the earliest stages. The firm operates on the following pillars: Nothing is too early—they back teams with just an idea. They lead or co-lead rounds with $500k - $2m checks, building high conviction and going all-in when others won't. Each fund invests in approximately 30 companies, working closely with teams from the start and throughout their journey. Crypto is global and so is their investing approach. They invest in both tokens and equity, across different verticals and business models.
Notable quotes
“Four years ago, having just left Aragon and thinking about what to do next, Patrick Mayr came to me with an idea that would become Cherry Crypto. It was a transition—not always an easy one—to move away from my technical background and into an investing and research role. Over the last three years I can be proud to say that we've had the privilege of partnering with some of crypto's most prominent projects from their very beginnings to now.”
