Frequently asked questions
What does Puzzle Ventures invest in?
The firm focuses exclusively on early-stage blockchain startups. Its portfolio, as disclosed on its website, covers Ethereum scaling (Offchain Labs, Scroll), decentralized exchange infrastructure (DODO, Orderly Network, Ref Finance), cross-chain bridges (Aurora, BoringDAO), and DeFi primitives. The strategy does not appear to include late-stage equity, tokens, or non-crypto sectors.
How does Puzzle Ventures source its deals?
The firm does not publicly describe its sourcing process, but the portfolio reveals a structural tie to the DODO protocol and its "DEXpert" toolkit. Multiple portfolio companies — Unagiswap, Wasabee — are DEXs launched on DODO's infrastructure, suggesting sourcing flows through the protocol's developer ecosystem rather than a generalized cold-outreach or accelerator funnel.
Who runs investment decisions at Puzzle Ventures?
No named principals or investment committee members are publicly available. The firm's website lists only a generic contact email, and no LinkedIn page has been captured. The decision-making structure and individual track records remain undisclosed (Altss research).
Is Puzzle Ventures a single family office or a venture firm?
The firm describes itself solely as a dedicated early-stage Web3 venture investor. Without disclosed principals or wealth-origin information, it operates in the market as a venture capital firm, not as a family office.
Does Puzzle Ventures have disclosed fund sizes or AUM?
No. The firm has not announced any fund closes, vehicle sizes, or deployment totals. AUM, fee structure, and limited-partner composition remain undisclosed (Altss research).
