Profile

Our team brings together industry professionals with over 50 years of combined experience in finance and investment (including asset management, investment banking, algorithmic and non-algorithmic trading, venture capital and corporate development) plus 30 years in building rapid-growth technology companies. From the inception of the Ethereum Foundation in 2015 onwards, our founding members have successfully adapted their expertise to the crypto world, helping to raise over $450m across 80 different ICOs and pioneering new solutions across technological development, legal issues, marketing and community campaign management. Our team’s advantage stems from the way we filter an in-depth understanding of crypto and blockchain technology through a conservative business lens. This allows us to seize on all the opportunities, benefits and high returns of the crypto economy on the one hand, while constantly evaluating exposure and blind spot risks in order to minimize possible losses on the other. BlockRock Capital has diversified investment strategies focused on VC-style stakes in startups, hybrid investments in pre-ICOs and ICOs (equity + tokens), and cryptocurrency trading programs including arbitrage and a regularly rebalanced basket of the most promising coins. Our algorithmic trading experience also helps us to engage in crypto infrastructure plays, such as new exchanges and trading tools, that are not always suited to ICOs or mainstream investors.
