Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Mapleblock Capital?
Vijay Garg, Founding Partner, leads investment decisions alongside Co-Founder Matus Steis. The firm maintains a flat partnership structure with decision-making concentrated in the founding team, supported by a distributed network of venture partners and technical advisors across its five offices.
How does Mapleblock source proprietary deal flow?
Mapleblock sources through a multi-office structure spanning London, Palo Alto, New York, New Delhi, and Hong Kong. The firm relies on its physical presence in these technology corridors rather than aggregator platforms, building direct relationships with founders, developer communities, and protocol teams. Its crypto-native network provides access to token rounds that traditional venture firms often miss.
Does Mapleblock participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Mapleblock primarily executes direct deals—both equity investments in private technology companies and token acquisitions in crypto protocols. The firm has not publicly indicated a fund-of-funds strategy or significant LP commitments to other venture managers.
What investment stages does Mapleblock Capital target?
Mapleblock targets seed, start-up, and growth stages. In practice, the firm concentrates on seed and early-stage rounds where it can establish meaningful position sizing before later-stage crossover investors enter, particularly in blockchain infrastructure and enterprise software.
