About Mapleblock Capital

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Mapleblock Capital is a Delhi-based investment firm founded in 2017 that focuses exclusively on crypto-assets and blockchain companies, making it one of India's earliest crypto-native venture investors. The firm invests across the early stages of the Web3 lifecycle — including seed rounds, strategic rounds and token sales — backing founders it describes as those who 'can code the future' and supplementing capital with a hands-on support system spanning technical resources, community building, token strategy and access to a global crypto network. Its partners are experienced operators in the crypto and blockchain sectors who leverage extensive industry relationships to add value. Mapleblock has built a broad portfolio — reported across sources at anywhere from several dozen to well over a hundred Web3 projects — with notable investments including infrastructure protocol Ankr, Layer-1 network Elrond (now MultiversX), MANTRA, zero-knowledge interoperability project Polyhedra Network, Good Games Guild, Web3-gaming firm READYgg and play-to-earn game Kawaii Islands, where it served as lead investor. It frequently co-invests alongside leading global crypto funds such as Hashed, Polychain Capital, Animoca Brands and Coinbase Ventures. Sitting at the intersection of India's deep developer talent pool and the global Web3 opportunity, Mapleblock is positioned as a strategic partner for blockchain founders targeting worldwide markets.
