At Tioga we focus on being the best European long-term partner for exceptional Web3 entrepreneurs.
Our beliefs
Individual Sovereignty
We invest in the great awakening of the sovereign individual and the potential of peer to peer distributed networks to reshape the nature of reality.
Data Ownership
In Web2 data was “the new oil” – in Web3 data is open and abundant, allowing developers and creators to break up the Web2 data monopolies.
Open Finance
Permissionless blockchains allow for interoperability and give developers and users alike access to financial products at a global scale, from day one.
Privacy
True sovereignty comes with privacy, a fundamental human right to protect the minority from the majority.
investment mandate
We focus on the ‘picks and shovels’ with a particular interest in DeFi infrastructure, NFT infrastructure, compliance, and applications that benefit from Web3’s composability features.
We have the flexibility to hold both equity as well as crypto assets on the balance sheet.
When it comes to token investments, we strongly believe in aligning incentives between entrepreneurs, the community, and investors.
We invest from Pre-Seed to Series B stages
Europe has over 20x less dedicated capital available than in the US, while the number of deals on both continents is in the same ballpark.
This funding dislocation in the market, coupled with a strong foundation of technical talent and regulatory clarity is why we focus on Europe.
We take a long-term approach to supporting entrepreneurs.
I’m absolutely amazed by the proactive support Nicolas, Michiel, and Patrick are giving us ever since the first days of discussing their involvement in our Series A. Especially when it comes to business development, their broad network in the crypto space already opened a lot of doors for us and resulted in concrete deals and partnerships. The straightforward communication and their strong dedication to our cause really feels like they are part of the team.

As soon as we got to know Tioga it was clear that they had a thorough understanding of the DeFi market. Even before their investment decision was made, they introduced us to a valuable partner who later joined the investment round and is now our single biggest client on top.

Also post-investment, Patrick and Nicolas are always available while placing great confidence in the management team.
