Veil Capital
Veil Capital is Brendan Rogers's early-crypto family office, run from Seattle with offices across eight international jurisdictions.
Veil Capital
Veil Capital was established by Brendan Rogers, who accumulated significant wealth through early participation in Bitcoin markets and the Ethereum initial coin offering. The firm is legally structured across multiple jurisdictions, including Zug and the Cayman Islands, a footprint consistent with managing crypto-native wealth across regulatory regimes. Rogers runs the firm alongside President Michael P. Lee, a former Wall Street trader whose public record includes a Wells Fargo structured-products background. The firm's strategy spans liquid digital assets, private venture-stage token and equity rounds, and an allocation to biotechnology. Veil can allocate as principal into token pre-sales, equity rounds, and decentralized finance protocols, and the firm has historically engaged in yield-generation strategies native to crypto markets. Known portfolio exposures include early-stage positions in Solana and render-token infrastructure projects, dating from the previous cycle. The geographic mandate is global, with deal activity concentrated in North America, Asia, and Switzerland's Crypto Valley. The firm maintains offices in nine cities across four countries. It has periodically operated parallel vehicles—including a liquid fund structure briefly registered with the SEC and exempt reporting vehicles in Delaware—though the current stance on external capital is unclear. In 2024, Rogers began surfacing publicly as a speaker on the intersection of crypto and longevity science, consistent with the firm's disclosed biotechnology allocations. Veil's structure blends a single-family office with elements of a proprietary trading desk and an incubator. The firm does not disclose a separation between Rogers's personal book and the family-office entity, and the multi-jurisdictional footprint—including Swiss and Cayman vehicles—suggests an architecture designed first for asset protection and regulatory optionality, rather than for welcoming third-party scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Veil Capital?
Founder Brendan Rogers and President Michael P. Lee lead the firm. Lee's background includes a trading role at Wells Fargo and a track record in structured products, while Rogers is the original wealth creator from early Bitcoin and Ethereum accumulation. The division of labor between the two on day-to-day portfolio management is not publicly delineated.
Is Veil Capital structured as a single family office?
Veil operates as the single-family office for Brendan Rogers, but the multi-jurisdictional legal structure—including entities in Zug, the Cayman Islands, and Delaware—means it bears some characteristics of a proprietary trading operation. The firm does not publicly clarify the boundaries between personal holdings and the family-office entity.
Does Veil Capital invest in biotechnology?
Yes. Alongside crypto-native allocations, Veil has a disclosed interest in biotechnology, with Rogers appearing in 2024 on panels discussing longevity science. Specific biotech positions have not been publicly named as of the latest available record.
Does Veil Capital accept external capital?
Veil has historically operated exempt reporting vehicles and briefly registered a liquid fund with the SEC during the prior market cycle, but it currently presents as a single-family office. Whether any external co-investment vehicles remain active is not publicly confirmed.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originated from Brendan Rogers's personal accumulation of Bitcoin in its earliest years and his participation in the Ethereum ICO in 2014. Rogers converted those positions into the liquid and illiquid portfolio that Veil manages today.
