Contribution Alpha
A venture fund first
In 2023 we launched Contribution Capital, a $30M seed-stage web3 fund. It has made 30 investments so far.
Quarterly paycheck strategy
A market-neutral crypto hedge fund earning yield from structural inefficiencies in DeFi — in stablecoins, with hedged positions, through relationships our venture fund has already built.
Strong DeFi protocols are starved of liquidity. Capital chases ultra-high, ultra-risky yields — and leaves high-yield, low-risk opportunities underserved. That gap is where we work.
About.
What diligence revealed
Reviewing 1,000+ startups, we saw clear signs of structural liquidity starvation — even among strong DeFi protocols.
Monetising the gap
In 2025 we launched Contribution Alpha to earn on these inefficiencies, using our presence in the industry.
Why the yields exist
We profit on market inefficiencies
01
The industry is evolving fast
New protocols emerge constantly and pay attractive incentives for usage and liquidity provision.
02
Not enough infrastructure
Tools for efficient capital management are limited, so capital is allocated inefficiently across opportunities.
03
Lack of capital
Capital chases ultra-high, ultra-risky yields, leaving high-yield, low-risk opportunities underserved.

Our unique advantage
We know more than the others
Network effect
Our VC fund generates a steady flow of liquid opportunities — including deals that do not always reach the open market.
Staking & farming
In our portfolio companies we take less risk as equity holders and get better terms.
Providing liquidity
Seeing projects at the earliest pitch stage gives us a much deeper sense of the market.
