Introducing: Strobe

BlockTower VC is now Strobe. After years of building one of crypto's most trusted investment platforms, we're starting a new chapter with a sharper focus on what matters most: backing founders who are building things that last. Our approach is intentionally different. We’re a lean team by design, invest pre-consensus, and take a hands-on approach with fewer founders. With over $235M in assets under management and significant dry powder ready to deploy, we're actively searching for partners...
