“Backing exceptional founders advancing individual sovereignty through novel financial and cryptographic primitives. A European, pre-seed and seed fund that funds self-custody, non-custodial derivatives and privacy-preserving compliance over custodial consumer apps.”
Sector split covers all nine companies on the Tioga portfolio page, classified by us from their public descriptions. Chain split covers only the two companies whose chain fits our current chain taxonomy (Felix on Hyperliquid, Chaos Labs multichain); several portfolio companies, including Extended, are Starknet-native, which falls outside the current chain taxonomy, so the chain split should be read as indicative, not complete.
Tioga Capital is a European, Brussels-origin early-stage fund built around a single, unusually philosophical thesis: backing founders who advance individual sovereignty through new financial and cryptographic primitives. In practice that means self-custody, non-custodial derivatives, privacy-preserving compliance and new market structure, and it explicitly excludes custodial consumer apps that reintroduce the intermediary the fund is trying to remove.
The portfolio page is the strongest public asset the fund has, because it labels the exact stage of each investment rather than leaving founders to guess. Felix, a lending and RWA-perps protocol on Hyperliquid, was a Pre-Seed check, which makes Tioga one of the very few funds in this directory with a documented pre-seed position in the Hyperliquid ecosystem specifically. Other names include Chaos Labs (risk infrastructure, Pre-Seed), Extended (perpetuals on Starknet, Seed), PV01 (tokenized bonds, Seed), Architect (CeFi derivatives, Seed), Casa (self-custody, Seed), Lens Protocol (decentralized social, Seed), BitRobot (robotics-adjacent DePIN, Seed) and Venly (wallet infrastructure, Seed).
There is no public application form, and no email address was found on the site. The fund's presence on X is the only verified contact surface, which means the practical path in is either a direct message that demonstrates you understand the sovereignty thesis, or an introduction from a founder already in the portfolio.
Key stats:
Individual partner names were not verified on the site in this session. The fund's public identity is its X account, @TiogaCapital, and a portfolio founder intro is the more reliable path to a specific person than guessing at a team page.
