Archetype, formerly Acrylic, is an early-stage venture firm focused on backing the next generation of crypto founders and accelerating the decentralized future.

Archetype is a $55M venture fund dedicated entirely to supporting the next wave of crypto entrepreneurs in the earliest days of protocol and company building.

Our HQ is in Brooklyn, NY, but will have a global focus towards our investments. To date, we have invested in four protocols and companies, and are actively seeking founders looking to evolve the status quo.

Archetype provides inception capital for founders that will evolve the status quo, entrepreneurs capable of creating entirely new markets, and those maniacally dedicated to their craft regardless of macro inertia.

Today, there are dozens of incredible investment firms focused on this burgeoning industry, and many have evolved to manage hundreds of millions and sometimes billions of dollars. There is no shortage of capital or choices for entrepreneurs.

Against this backdrop, Archetype was purposefully built to do what I do best — identify, support, and accelerate the builders in crypto at their earliest stages. Acrylic’s focus within crypto is quite broad, and will iterate as founders unleash step functions in innovation. Early stage crypto investing is an art, not a science.
