6 VCs and 0 funds investing in Onchain Markets
General Partner
Electric Capital
Check: Electric Capital's current website publishes a $1M–$15M+ range from pre-seed through Series A; its January 2026 user-owned-technology thesis says it invests $1M–$20M in that theme. No separate personal range is published for Ren.
Ren backs deeply technical, trust-minimized systems and the builders who can turn them into usable infrastructure. His work combines protocol security, consensus game theory, smart-contract code analysis, developer activity, liquidity, volatility, and market structure. A central test in his published thinking is whether a protocol truly compresses verification cost for a sufficiently standardized asset or interaction—and whether it can overcome the friction, coordination, and funding disadvantages that usually pull products back toward centralized platforms.
Principal
Greenfield Capital
Check: Not publicly disclosed. Greenfield has led and joined pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds, but public round sizes are not personal or firm check sizes.
Gleb leads Greenfield's DeFi work, combining protocol research, infrastructure operating experience, and deal execution. His current research emphasizes capital-efficient and safer liquidity architecture, intent-based execution, MEV and sequencing, and go-to-market systems that convert speculative launch capital into durable protocol use. Greenfield's broader mandate is to back early developer teams building an open, decentralized, and robust web across private, public, and liquid opportunities.
Partner, Head of Operations
1confirmation
Check: Not publicly disclosed. Public databases show 1confirmation joining early-stage crypto rounds, but round size should not be mistaken for the firm's check size.
Frank's public role centers on the operational side of 1confirmation, an early-stage fund supporting founders who decentralize the web and society. His background in regulated finance, asset management, and crypto-fund operations is most relevant to fund structure, risk, execution, and helping a small specialist team operate across venture and digital assets; no separate personal investment thesis is publicly documented.
Partner
1confirmation
Check: Not publicly disclosed. Public databases show 1confirmation joining early-stage crypto rounds, but round size should not be mistaken for the firm's check size.
Mike is a Partner at 1confirmation, whose published mandate is to support exceptional early-stage founders fueling decentralization of the web and society. In the absence of attributable personal commentary, this profile intentionally uses only that firm-level thesis and does not infer a personal sector specialty, portfolio, or decision framework.
