Nascent careers

Nascent is a team of builders who back early-stage crypto founders creating products and primitives for an open financial world. We back promising people & ideas that have the potential to become category-defining companies & protocols. Founded in 2020, we've invested in 50+ early-stage ventures and continue to stay in the trenches with them for the long haul, supporting with engineering, strategy, mechanism design, and more. Building from a base of permanent capital, we deploy a sizable liquid portfolio utilizing a range of strategies that ensure we are among the most active users of the open financial system we are helping to build.
