Vanneck Capital careers

Vanneck is a Web3 investor based in London, registered as Vanneck & Partners Ltd. We give direct checks into early-stage projects, $550K on average, with $750K in MENA and $500K in Asia. For larger rounds we run SPVs of up to $2M per project, and we take RFQs to 200+ investors when a round needs more. To date we have made 45 equity investments and 62 token investments, and our portfolio has raised $285M in total. From form to term sheet takes 14 days when the project is hot and 3 to 6 weeks otherwise.

The check is the core of every deal, and everything else we do for a project comes with it at no additional cost. We cover smart contract audits worth $30K to $100K or more through a retained firm, and we arrange penetration testing and multi-sig setup. We connect projects with market makers at portfolio rates, since we share the retainer revenue with the project, and we set up liquidity on DEXs with concentrated liquidity and stable pools. Our listings team includes an ex-Binance BD, and it supports centralized exchange listings along with CMC and CoinGecko as well as almost all tier 1-3 CEXs. Our OTC desk has facilitated $127M in volume, with an average transaction of $850K and no failed deals.

On the growth side, we build go-to-market plans, organic integrations, run KOL and PR campaigns, grow communities and regional rollouts, and plan launchpad and IDO strategy. Founders also get direct access to our advisory board on tokenomics, regulation in the UAE, exchange strategy and institutional DeFi. We introduce them to other portfolio founders for integrations and co-marketing, and to investors, family offices and angels across MENA, Asia, CIS, Europe and LATAM. We help with legal structuring, VARA and ADGM compliance, hiring and treasury planning, and we work with a project before we invest so that the check lands on solid ground.
