05/WHAT WE INVEST IN
WHAT WE INVEST IN

Daxos Capital is an early-stage angel/venture investor.

We started by backing crypto and digital assets. We are now wider than that. We like infrastructure and the tools others build on more than single end-products. We back capital-efficient teams that do real work on little money. We want strong, honest founders and real proof: a shipped product, a paying customer, a signed contract, flight heritage, revenue, or a government award. We favor US founders but look at strong teams anywhere. We avoid copycats and pure derivatives.

Cast the net wide. If you are close to one of the areas below, reach out anyway. We would rather read a pitch that is not a fit than miss you.

The shape we back

One shape repeats across every sector. Infrastructure and picks and shovels, the tools and rails others build on, over single end-products. Capital-efficient teams that do real work on little money. Strong, honest founders. Real proof over a promise of what could exist. We favor US founders and look at strong teams anywhere. We avoid copycats and pure derivatives, and we do our homework.

Frequently asked
What stage does Daxos invest in?

Pre-seed and seed. We are comfortable being early, including the first institutional check.

What check size do you write?

$100,000 to $500,000.

Do you lead rounds?

Typically no. We follow and co-invest alongside a lead. A round that already has a lead and still has room fits us best.

Are you an angel fund or a venture capital firm?

Both descriptions fit. We are an early-stage angel/venture investor.

What sectors do you invest in?

Crypto and digital assets, exchanges, marketplaces and prediction markets, frontier AI, defense, aerospace and space, and robotics, plus fintech, neurotech and medtech, hardware and climate, gaming, and consumer. We are industry agnostic.

Do you invest in both crypto and non-crypto startups?

Yes. Crypto is where we started and is still a large part of what we do, but we also back AI, defense, aerospace, robotics, hardware and more.

Where are you based?

New York and Miami.

Do you invest outside the United States?

We favor US founders, but we look at strong teams anywhere.

Will you invest before we have a product or revenue?

Yes. We invest at pre-seed and seed, so we are used to being early. We still want real proof of execution, which can be a prototype, a pilot, a signed contract, flight heritage, or an award.

Do you take cold pitches, or do I need a warm intro?

You can pitch us directly. You do not need a warm introduction.

How do I pitch you, and what should I send?

Apply at daxos.capital/apply. Send your company name, a one-line description of what you build, a link to your deck or data room, your Telegram handle and your email.

How fast do you reply?

If there is interest, you hear back within 72 hours.

What do you not invest in?

Copycats and pure derivatives with no edge. We also fit best when the round still has room, since we write small early checks.
