Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at First Block Capital?
The firm does not publicly name its investment principals or decision-makers. Public records show the entity is registered in the United Kingdom and Canada, but no specific individuals are listed as CIO or CEO. Allocation decisions appear to be made internally, though the chain of command remains undisclosed.
How does First Block Capital source proprietary deal flow?
The firm does not disclose its sourcing methodology. Given its offices in London and Vancouver, it likely draws on fintech networks, blockchain developer communities, and regulatory contacts. However, no specific sourcing relationships or advisory boards are publicly identified.
Is First Block Capital structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Public records do not clarify the firm's legal structure. It is registered as an asset manager in the UK and Canada, with no indication of family-office status. The dual-city presence and digital-asset focus suggest an institutional venture or hedge fund orientation rather than a single-family office.
What investment stages does First Block Capital typically target?
The firm appears to cover both venture-stage equity in blockchain startups and liquid digital asset strategies. This suggests a multi-stage approach spanning seed to growth, as well as ongoing trading in cryptocurrencies and digital tokens. Exact stage preferences are not publicly defined.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The origin of capital managed by First Block Capital is not publicly disclosed. It is unknown whether the firm manages institutional capital, high-net-worth individual assets, or proprietary family wealth. No external capital sources have been identified through public filings or press.
