01 — Context

What this thesis means

Crypto and Web3 investors back protocol, infrastructure, exchange-adjacent, and application-layer companies in blockchain ecosystems. The thesis rewards technical depth, community distribution, and clarity on what is decentralised versus what is a normal product with a token narrative.

Indian founders in this lane often build for global crypto users while navigating local regulatory uncertainty. Serious investors ask about token design only after product utility, security, and go-to-market are clear — and they discount hype cycles hard.

Pitch utility and users first. Explain regulatory posture without hand-waving, and show why your team can ship secure systems in a adversarial environment.

02 — Fit

  • +Crypto infrastructure, Web3 app, and blockchain tooling founders
  • +Teams with strong technical credibility
  • +Products with real users or developers, not only whitepapers

  • →Security and compliance posture
  • →Traction: users, developers, volume, or partnerships
