Investment thesis

Signature Ventures powers the next wave of Deep Tech innovation by investing in outstanding founders and emerging fund managers at the earliest stages. The firm backs exceptional teams building the backbone of the next-generation internet — open, secure, and privacy-centered — with a focus on Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology, Web3, and Agentic AI. Founded in 2019 and based in Germany, Signature invests globally with a European focus, from Pre-Seed to Series A. The firm's approach is anchored in three convictions: that innovation is a necessity (not a luxury), that breakthroughs require both imagination and realism, and that in the end it is about people, not technology. Signature builds conviction by thinking through problems from first principles, working hands-on with entrepreneurs, and leveraging a deep ecosystem of blockchain industry players, VCs, corporates, and academia to help portfolio companies refine strategy, strengthen competitive edge, and navigate growth.

Notable quotes

We only invest in outstanding teams that build the backbone of the decentralized future. We see many startups that try to combine Data with Blockchains. Nevermined is the first company that understands the complexities and provides actual solutions at the intersection of Data and Web3.

Blockchain and Web3 are the fastest growing industries of our modern world.

Juliane Hahn · encourage-ventures.com event recap

Valory is building one of the missing pieces for the open, secure and privacy-centered next-generation internet (web3). Its autonomous services ecosystem will lay the foundation for truly decentralized apps that can rival web2 applications' functionality richness, while being more transparent and robust.
