Profile

Chainforest leads the first round of investment (pre-seed / seed) for a web3 founder with a $250-750k commitment. We focus on founders with world-bending ambitions to disrupt the world’s largest markets of spend and attention.

In web3, we anticipate that community native investing organizations will outperform traditional VC firms. All founders benefit from the support of the Chainforest DAO, which is incentivized by the $RAINDROP token (backed by carry in our fund) to participate in the investing process. Founders have received support from the community in a multitude of ways: leveraging deep conversation to understand new web3 models and markets, participating in our Conscious Leadership Group coaching forums, and sourcing their co-founders, early employees, and alpha testers.
