From 0 to 1,
and 1 to 100.

01

Idea

You have a thesis and a team. We have capital and a studio. Let's start.

02

MVP

You own the code. We bring the product playbook: GTM, positioning, and launch experience.

03

Product-Market Fit

Retention tells the truth. We help you understand the pattern and position around it.

04

Traction

The hard part was building. Now it's about connecting. We bring the network.

05

Scale

Startup phase is over. Now you're building an organization. We help with that.

1 to 100

Seed was the start, not the whole story. Follow-on capital and intros keep flowing.

More than
just capital.

Venture Investments

Capital and network for cutting-edge startups

We support strong ambitious teams with real applicable use cases. There is still a lot to improve in FinTech and we want to be with those who dare to do that.

Digital Assets & DeFi

Diversified liquidity for sustainable yield

We deploy capital across digital asset strategies, on-chain and off-chain, from DeFi yield and options to fixed income, private credit, and structured products. This cash flow engine is what allows us to back projects long-term.

Product Lab (ProLab)

Where portfolio companies come to grow

ProLab is our in-house studio that works shoulder-to-shoulder with portfolio teams, from product-market fit to full-stack build-out. Powered by returns from our asset management strategies, ProLab helps ventures compound faster.

Companies we've
backed to win.

The people behind

Trusted by the
builders we back.

Working with Funders VC has been a great experience for our team. They have become not only our investor, but also a client of Liqvid and a partner in organising events for capital allocators. Their hands-on approach, strong network, and deep market understanding make them a truly valuable partner beyond capital.

I was fortunate early in my journey to meet the Funders VC team, who not only invested but also helped us structure our round and acquire our first clients.

Building something
bold?

We back projects from idea to execution, funding the best teams with capital, expertise, and a powerful network.
