1kx is an early stage crypto VC focused on investing in consumer crypto applications and application infrastructure. We're a first check investment firm that supports founders from seed ($2m-$3m) to series A ($5m-$8m) as a lead investor, and also through liquid positions ($5m+) in tokens we believe in long term. 85% of our deals are as leads/co-lead. We invest and specialize in three areas: 1. Consumer crypto applications (games, social, creator, prediction, trading + anything fun...) 2. Middleware (wallet infra, dev tooling, chain abstraction, staking, interoperability, DePIN...) 3. Infrastructure (blockchains, scalability, verifiable compute, ...) Notable deals we've led first/early rounds into: zkSync, WalletConnect, LI.FI, Pudgy Penguins, Abstract Chain, Lagrange, Superstate, Molecule... + you can see the rest at: 1kx.network/portfolio
