#buidl. But don’t build to build. Build something people NEED.

At Boost VC we have invested in over 75 crypto related projects dating back to 2012. The ecosystem is taking off but there are still many missing pieces to the puzzle. Here is what we are looking to invest in next:

What is the Consensys of other blockchains/dapps? Studio builder model for quick iterations on bringing crypto mainstream. Too early to go all in on one idea but experiment with MVPs. Tools for building/maintaining crypto teams. Crypto teams are different. They are remote first, contractor heavy and many times dealing with near instant liquidity — thus different incentive models than traditional startups. Tools that are cross blockchain (outside of wallet, exchange, storage). Lot of these are land grabs. Build a utility necessary for interacting with blockchains and recreate on the other top 5–10 chains. APIs, data and naming are all potential. But what else? Front ends for blockchains/dapps. What is the Coinbase for other blockchains/dapps? Regulatory arbitrage plays. We invest globally. Therefore we will look at teams using certain jurisdictions to their advantage. Areas of legal gambling. Custody designed for specific countries. Trading securities.

This list is certainly not comprehensive but this is currently what is on our mind. If you know of anyone working on these reach out. If you want to join our next accelerator batch — Join Tribe 12. Projects like Etherscan, MyCrypto, Aragon and many many more have come out of the Boost VC program and looking for more!
