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.
The Tioga team is deeply entrenched into the blockchain ecosystem which is highly valuable to create synergies within the space. After writing a cheque they are fully on board and are more than keen to support us as a startup and to further mature our organisation. A solid investor partner and trusted board member to help us grow into our full potential.

Tioga is a very valuable investor for Scorechain: as a lead investor, they have helped us connect with key European investors and their role is important in the recruitment and growth process. Also post-investment, Patrick and Nicolas are always available while placing great confidence in the management team. We are convinced that they will be able to support Scorechain in the next stages of its development.

Personally I find a European hands-on & long-term focused blockchain venture capitalist, which is independent of Silicon Valley, a must have in a token round. Tioga fits this mold perfectly for Nym. We’ve had many insightful conversations on structuring the tokenomics, as well as on the go to market strategy and the token launch game plan (e.g. which market makers to work with, which platform to use etc.)
