Vanneck Capital is an investor and accelerator. We write the check first and build around it.
Our direct checks average $550K, with a working range of $100K to $500K. Earlier-stage teams can enter through the Accelerator Fund at $100K to $235K.
The investment is the cornerstone of every deal. Audit, listings, market making, security, go-to-market and introductions to investors and exchanges come with it at no extra cost. We do not sell services.
So far we have made 45 equity and 62 token investments, and our portfolio has raised $285M.
Our motto is giving, not selling. If you are building and raising, apply for the program!
Breakpoint London is five days away, and our media lineup is set.
Seven creators and media teams have signed on as Vanneck Capital media partners. From 15 to 17 November they will cover the conference, the side events around it and founder interviews.
Follow us to see it as it is published.
We either solve it or connect you with someone who can.
That is the rule for any problem a founder brings us. Behind it: investors, exchanges, market makers, auditors, legal counsel, KOL agencies and other portfolio founders.
For services you pay for directly, we negotiate preferred rates.

An SPV is one deal in one vehicle.
At Vanneck, each SPV holds a single project, so an investor knows exactly what the money backs. The minimum LP ticket is $50K, there is no management fee, and carry is 20% above an 8% hurdle.
Structures: Cayman, Delaware or Singapore. The average SPV is $750K, and the largest go up to $2M.
@maccurated Not how it works, nowadays everyone can be an artist
There are def a lot of works don’t worth buying/minting, not depending on your networth lol
You're building it the wrong way
Common startup advice: take the money first, buy the help later.
We do it the other way round. Audit costs, listing support, market making at preferred rates, security for the founding team and hiring support come with the check.
Giving, not selling.
Before we write a check, we work with the team. At no cost.
The Free Stage includes:
- A go-to-market planning session
- A marketing and distribution assessment
- A tokenomics review
- An introduction to a market maker
- A CEX listing introduction, at letter-of-intent level
- An advisory board expert for domain questions
- A portfolio introduction where a partnership fits
It lowers the risk of the check for both sides.
Founder vesting in our standard terms, in one example.
4 years, with a 1-year cliff.
Leave before month 12: nothing has vested.
Reach month 12: 25% vests at once.
After that the rest vests gradually until month 48.
If control of the company changes, vesting accelerates in full.
