Hack VC

Hack VC is a San Francisco crypto fund led by Managing Partner Alexander Pack, with a partner bench that leans unusually technical and operational for a fund of its size: Harrison Dahme also serves as CTO, and Ian Masters and Borna Shoa are named as traders alongside their partner titles, a signal that the firm underwrites market microstructure and quant risk directly rather than outsourcing it. The firm publicly confirmed a $200 million early-stage fund at launch (TechCrunch, Blockworks) and describes itself as targeting crypto, AI and frontier tech as one connected thesis rather than three separate buckets.

The portfolio, organized on the firm's own site into AI, "(DE)FI" and Web3 Infrastructure, runs past 100 named companies. Among the more distinctive positions is Hyperdrive, a stablecoin money market built on Hyperliquid's HyperEVM, one of the only verified positions any large crypto fund in this directory holds on that chain. The firm also backs foundational AI-x-crypto compute plays (io.net, Grass, Ritual) and core infrastructure (EigenLayer, Sui, Berachain, Eclipse).

There is no gated application form. contact@hack.vc is live and monitored, though the firm's scale means an introduction from a portfolio founder remains the more common path in.
