Investment Management - Belvedere Tiburon, California, United States
Spike Capital is a private investment firm that focuses on the growing blockchain sector's potential to upend traditional finance, increase accessibility to financial tools, and tackle the growing data ownership & privacy issues at the forefront of the modern tech-plex. Our philosophy is to invest at all layers of the stack, from core foundational technologies (smart-contract platforms, oracle solutions, etc.) through protocol applications (decentralized finance), all the way up to enterprise, social & consumer gaming projects. We believe blockchain technology, at it's core, represents a huge leap forward in computing technology. Smart contract platforms and defi protocols represent an opportunity to shift more value from the application side to the protocol side, threatening the chokehold of internet giants like Facebook and Google. Blockchains also offer the possibility of creating truly global markets, with democratic governance models and truly global participation. In essence, we believe blockchain technology is still developing.. but the potential is huge.Investment areas include: smart-contract platforms (ETH, ADA, SOL), defi protocols (COMP, AAVE, YFI), decentralized exchanges (UNI, CRV, BNT), tokenized assets (SNX, LOKI), oracle solutions (LINK, BAND), and NFTs (ENJ, MANA), among others.Notable early investments; MATIC at 3 cents (+4,542%), ADA at 9 cents (+2,711%), and ENJ at 14 cents (+1,297%)
