“Believes decentralized technology is the foundation for a more efficient, transparent and accessible financial system, and backs founders rearchitecting global commerce, with the heaviest recent conviction in stablecoins and cross-border payments.”
Splits below are computed from the 17 companies named on the Haun Ventures portfolio page that we could classify by sector and chain, out of a larger full book the firm does not fully enumerate publicly.
Haun Ventures was founded by Katie Haun, a former federal prosecutor who led some of the US Department of Justice's earliest crypto-crime cases before moving into venture, and is run alongside General Partner Diogo Mónica (co-founder of Anchorage Digital), Partners Chris Ahn and Breck Stodghill, and Principal Mark Beylin. The firm announced a second round of funds on May 4, 2026, a $500 million early-stage vehicle and a $1 billion acceleration fund, confirming Haun now writes checks from seed through growth.
The portfolio's clearest and loudest pattern is stablecoins and cross-border payments: Bridge (acquired by Stripe), BVNK, Agora and Conduit together make Haun one of the most payments-concentrated funds in this directory, a theme that has only grown louder through 2026. The fund also holds a real Solana infrastructure cluster (Helius, Squads, Ellipsis Labs), a Base-native consumer position (Farcaster, Zora), and RWA bets (Plume, Superstate). Haun's regulatory pedigree, drawn from Katie Haun's DOJ background and reinforced by General Counsel James Rathmell, gives the fund a distinct edge with founders who need a partner fluent in compliance conversations, which matters directly for payments and stablecoin companies operating across jurisdictions.
There is no public application form. Warm introduction remains the standard path, though the partner team is large enough and public enough on X and LinkedIn that a well-targeted direct message is a realistic supplementary route.
