World-changing products come not from established institutions, but from visionary founders and fast-moving startups looking to challenge the status quo. We’re beyond excited to announce Archetype III today, a $100M fund dedicated to accelerating a founder-led future. At Archetype, we’ve never been more excited about the future of crypto: + technical innovations in blockchain performance have enabled onchain applications to become sleek mobile-first experiences + blockchain throughput and capabilities are finally reaching parity with web2 + stablecoins are creating a $250B (and counting) global payments network + onchain social networks are emerging as a new way for people to connect while owning and leveraging their own data + and crypto is credibly proving it can contribute to foundational innovation in AI while unlocking a new generation of enterprise and consumer use cases With this $100M of fresh capital, we’re continuing to foster relationships with maniacal founders, operate as their most dedicated advocates, and expand on the deep network and community we’ve built with Funds I and II. We’ve already begun deploying capital from our third fund into several startups still in stealth. These will join a portfolio that includes @privy_io, @monad, @Hut8Corp, @farcaster_xyz, @RemixGG_, @ritualnet, @RelayProtocol, and other category-leading companies. Archetype has always been a very high-touch partner to the entrepreneurs we back, putting our relationships and commitment to collaboration front and center. We bring early conviction and perspective to teams of risk takers working to bend the future to their will. Where most funds bring safety and scale, Archetype offers edge and inevitability. Massive thanks to our investors for placing your trust in us, and to all of the founders who have allowed us to build alongside you. We're honored to play a part in crypto's future and continue accelerating the programmable future with you all.
