Our take

Polychain Capital is a leading venture capital firm with a focus on blockchain technologies. The company believes that society is poised to restructure itself around blockchain-based incentive systems, and it actively contributes to this future by allocating funds towards breakthrough technologies and the dedicated technical teams building these transformative systems.

In 2023, the company raised around $200 million in an initial close for its fourth crypto venture capital fund. This achievement demonstrated the firm's resilience and determination in navigating the somewhat turbulent crypto investment landscape at the time. It continues to invest in promising projects, staying true to its vision of advancing the future of blockchain.
