Draper Goren Blockchain

Draper Goren Blockchain is a venture firm founded in 2023 that combines two operating arms: a venture studio that co-founds and builds companies alongside founders from the earliest stages, and investment funds that back companies digitizing real-world assets and financial markets. The model pairs strategic capital with hands-on company-building support, a structure the firm applies across sectors including real estate, credit, music catalogs and athletes' earnings, as well as artificial intelligence and real-world asset tokenization.

The firm's portfolio spans multiple sectors and locations. Its investment thesis centres on the digitization of financial markets - the tokenization of real-world assets being the core mechanism - targeting companies that bring traditionally illiquid or paper-based instruments onto blockchain infrastructure. Sector examples in scope range from property and credit instruments to intellectual property such as music catalogs and contracted future earnings.

Day-to-day leadership sits with managing partners Alon Goren and David Bleznak. Tim Draper, the venture investor, serves as co-founder and special limited partner. Draper Goren Blockchain operates from three offices - Westlake Village, California; Detroit, Michigan; and San Mateo, California - and identifies predecessor firm Draper Goren Holm as a legally separate entity.

Working arrangements reflect the studio-plus-fund model: the firm engages with founders at the point of company formation and continues to support them through investment. Fund size and stage focus are not disclosed.
