Kano invests in cryptocurrencies and infrastructure critical to an open economy. To date our investment returns have been driven the strongest infrastructure projects in cryptocurrency, blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi). More recently we have invested aggressively in non-fungible token platforms, the assets derived from NFTs, and fast-growing social networks and creator communities. Kano invents fundamental technology for building decentralized finance. We use this technology to source, vet, execute and manage investments; we advance our field and share this technology with the community to inspire new developments; we catalyze growth and attract key talent to the best projects. We are often sought out as advisors to support the innovation and growth of projects and their teams. Kano’s technical GPs are working with up-and-coming founders building next-generation crypto projects. From technical viability to systems architecture and security protocols, Kano often takes advisory stakes before a founder or founding team raises outside capital. Kano’s market GPs bring proven customer and market validation processes to early projects and help identify business development opportunities and secure critical partnerships in the rapidly evolving blockchain category.
