Summary

The firm

Token Metrics Ventures is a crypto fund focused on investing in digital assets and companies in the crypto ecosystem.

The fund invests across the blockchain spectrum, from investments in early-stage, widely-held digital assets to equity in companies that form the foundation of such assets.

The fund combines a dynamic fundamental investment process with an artificial intelligence-based quantitative approach to gain an edge in constructing a robust portfolio with a favorable risk-reward profile.

Our thesis

Built from diversified blockchain assets, the Token Metrics Ventures portfolio is designed to achieve positive returns while having a low correlation with other asset classes (equity, fixed-income, currency, commodity) and traditional investment performance benchmarks. Token Metrics Ventures will focus on the longtail of crypto assets. Our proprietary investment approach has been developed to discover undervalued crypto assets, which will provide outsized alpha.
