In 2016 CV VC was established as a blockchain venture capital firm focused on seed funding and an acceleration program for blockchain startups around the world. The founders, led by Mathias Ruch, sought to provide more than capital by building an investment platform designed to support transformative blockchain teams from around the world. The Crypto Valley ecosystem around Zug inspired a hands on approach that combines capital with mentorship, access to networks, and a commitment to helping startups grow. CV Labs emerged as the ecosystem arm, offering an accelerator, events, and coworking spaces in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Portugal, and South Africa to connect startups with mentors and partners. Today CV VC positions itself as a global blockchain investor investing in pre seed and seed startups through the CV Labs Accelerator and direct investments. Its investment product suite includes venture capital portfolios and portfolios of liquid hedge funds, enabling qualified investors to gain exposure to blockchain technology and digital assets. CV VC is associated with CV Labs in Crypto Valley, with activities spanning multiple regions and a focus on educating the market through research and insights while fostering a community for entrepreneurs, investors, and corporates aiming to leverage blockchain technology.
