An elemental

approach to investing

in next generation

digital economies

/elixir_capital

Elixir Capital is a venture capital firm backing early-stage founders building the internet of tomorrow, today.

We back founders pushing the boundaries of open-source software and decentralised technology. We partner closely with select protocols to facilitate building the right primitives, support scalability and promote network growth. We are value-add, long-term investors and are fully engaged with building out the next generation of digital economies and the open internet.

Our Thesis

Once in a generation, major technological advancements emerge with the potential to reshape our world. We are now entering a new era of the internet, commonly called Web3, which is driven by community-led initiatives, open-source collaboration and decentralised infrastructure. It is our belief that this will have profound, long-lasting effects on our increasingly digital world.

What we do

/investing

Supporting founders with that added bit of magic.

We leverage both Web3-native and traditional VC approaches to support global founders from Pre-Seed to Series A. We seek out founders who are constantly curious, mission-aligned and possess a strong commitment to integrity. In line with our thesis, we invest in sectors that facilitate an open decentralised internet, data sovereignty and improved usability & utility throughout the Web3 stack.

OUR APPROACH

Our Approach

Our ‘unbundled’ accelerator approach involves breaking down the complex problems operators, hackers, builders and tinkerers face on a daily basis into small addressable elements. We do this by facilitating meaningful and impactful engagements with our dedicated advisor network of 20+ people, all of which is included in our investment.

There is no one size fits all, and certainly no Web2 playbook to slot in here as Web3 upends numerous conventional approaches and thinking on product design, business models, GTM strategy and user acquisition. These elements cant simply be replicated from Web2 textbooks or venture programs.

Our Web3 specific, value-add engagements will look different for each team as company specific challenges require custom approaches.What you can be sure of however is our unwavering commitment and support. With the help of our powerful, purpose-built ecosystem, whatever you’re building will benefit as a result as we help drive adoption and utility throughout the stack.
