Vertical Ascent Capital Management, LLC is a private asset manager with a focus in digital assets and the burgeoning investment infrastructure associated with this new asset class. The firm’s investment thesis centers on capturing the reallocation of value away from rent-seeking intermediaries and toward consumers, which has in large part been made possible by blockchain technology and the resulting token economy. The team combines extensive portfolio management experience across traditional asset classes with unique experience and exposures across the digital asset ecosystem. Working with industry leaders towards development of new valuation models, alternative data sets and risk management frameworks, VACM focuses on optimized and risk-adjusted returns of a diverse portfolio in this new paradigm.
