The 2 and 20 is over
A management fee pays a firm to exist rather than to perform. We removed it. We take 25% once a company has exited and nothing at all before that, which means our outcome and the founder’s outcome arrive on the same day.
About
A founder first firm, because we are founders ourselves.
Hashblock invests in the companies rebuilding financial infrastructure and the digital economy around it — from payments rails and banking stacks to layer ones, indexing networks and digital identity.
Operators, not observers
We have built and run companies. That shapes what we ask in a first meeting, how fast we move, and how little process we impose after we have wired the money.
Both sides of the book
We are a venture capital firm and a hedge fund. Illiquid positions in early companies, liquid positions in digital assets, and a balance sheet that lets us hold through cycles instead of selling into them.
Quiet by design
No podcast, no daily posting, no conference circuit. Attention spent building a personal brand is attention not spent on the portfolio. We are comfortable being the least visible name on the cap table.
We do not take board seats and we get out of your way, so you can focus on running and growing your company. If you need us, we will be there to help.
How we work
First meeting
One conversation with the people who make the decision. No associate screen, no partner relay.
Decision
Days, not quarters. We will tell you no quickly and tell you why.
Cheque
Direct or through a syndicate that brought us the opportunity. We are comfortable either way.
After
No board seat, no monthly reporting pack, no standing call. Message us when you actually need something.
