Trammell Venture Partners (TVP) is an Austin-based venture capital firm founded in 2016, focused on investing in highly technical seed- and early-stage startups building on the Bitcoin protocol stack. TVP's thesis centers on the emergence of Bitcoin as the internet's native monetary layer, and the firm operates as a high-conviction, concentrated investor backing founders across Bitcoin infrastructure, custody, payments, Lightning Network applications, and Bitcoin-native financial services. TVP launched the venture capital industry's first fund series dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin-native companies — the TVP Bitcoin Venture Fund — and defines a 'Bitcoin-native company' as one founded on the first principle that bitcoin is the global monetary asset of the future, building products whose success is mutually aligned with Bitcoin's success. The firm is geography-agnostic and aims to become the signal venture capital investor for Bitcoin, helping founders return power and prosperity to individuals via the Bitcoin protocol stack.
Notable quotes
“Serious people no longer question whether bitcoin will remain 15 or 20 years into the future. So the next question becomes: Is it possible to build what the founder is trying to achieve on bitcoin? Increasingly, the answer is yes.”
“With four consecutive years of growth at the earliest stage of bitcoin startup formation, the data now confirm a sustained, long-term venture category trend.”
“Voltage Founder and CEO Graham Krizek has a tremendous background in engineering enterprise cloud software and building tools for developers. In 2021 with the backdrop of broader Lightning Network adoption, Voltage itself has seen outsized and accelerating month-over-month growth with a delighted customer base. As more developers and companies move to adopt and deploy Bitcoin and Lightning applications at scale, Graham and his team are poised to support rapid, consumer-grade Bitcoin-native development and deployment.”
