We are a team of crypto-natives, with no LPs, and invest exclusively with our own funds on the most promising early-stage teams. Our value-add lies in our community, product, and trading experience, allowing us to understand end-users globally as well as guide projects in building strong communities. From marketing to trading functions, product development to strategic planning, we aspire to embody the WAGMI spirit and take pride in our hands-on collaborative approach.

Testimonials

  • The GBV team exemplifies what it truly means to be pioneers in the industry. They're not the loudest bunch on social media, but that's because their decades of industry insight cannot be summarized in 140 characters. They're not the most published either, but that's because a call will teach you more than a thousand research papers. Having GBV on the cap table means truly having friends in an industry where trust is usually only found on-chain.

  • GBV was instrumental to Trader Joe’s success since our early days. They were able to introduce us to many partners and OGs in the industry, especially from outside of the Avalanche ecosystem. They are able to fill gaps in our admin, legal, and fundraising needs early on. We also trust GBV for their strategic insights, and they were a vital resource to tap into when making some of our key decisions over the years. I strongly recommend them as a VC who is helpful to founders in many different aspects of their web3 journey.
