UPDATED 2024 – After the failure of FTK, Celsius, Terra Luna, BlockFi, Voyager Digital, 3AC and even the SEC suing the world’s largest exchange Binance, much has changed amongst crypto VC firms. Funding amounts have drastically shrunk in size, and investors are more cautious. Deals are still getting done, but in smaller amounts.
Crypto Venture Capital (VC) firms are investment firms that invest in disruptive and industry changing startups in blockchain/NFTs/Web3. They specialize in providing financial backing to entrepreneurs from early to growth stages to reach new heights. Unique to the Web3 space, VCs can realize outsized returns compared to Web2 investments. Some of the most followed Web3 projects like Solana and Axie Infinity have been funded by well known VCs like a16z and Multicoin Capital. Being funded by one of these VCs also acts as a proof of traction that can be used to attract new users and other investors.
If your project or startup is looking to launch with the help of a venture capital firm, this is the definitive list as independently reviewed by investors, analysts and developers. Let’s cut through all the hype. All information and due diligence is crowdsourced from our Crowdcreate network.

We don’t work on success fees because it’s your company, not ours. We’re the most busy we’ve been since our company was started and all of our clients pay us 100% upfront before we even get started. It’s how we pay our team’s salaries.
We all know startups are unpredictable. We are strategically aligned with you to hit your goals. We actually lose money in the first 3 months. Our fees just cover our hard costs to get things going. After the first 3 months, we’ll know whether or not things will be successful. Then we start making money together and want to keep you a client once we work together for 6 months to 1 year.
Industry average and what we’ve seen from our clients, is that it takes 90 days from the initial introduction to an investor to build up enough trust to invest in a deal. It may be faster depending on your deal. According to our roadmap, we will be sending personalized emails within the first 60 days.
Crowdcreate has been in the influencer marketing industry since 2014, and we’ve built relationships with most of the top influencers in industries like Crypto, NFT, DeFi, Traders, Health & Wellness and more. Check with your account strategist on specific influencers for your niche.
