Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at w3.fund?
The venture strategy is led by Founding Partners Tim Keding, André Kanya, and Feliks Eyser, with Henrik Bredenbals as Co-Founder & Partner for w3.ventures. The liquid token fund is run by General Partners Julius Nagel and Philipp Beer. The firm lists several additional co-founders, though day-to-day investment authority sits with the named GP group.
How does w3.fund source proprietary deal flow?
Sourcing is tightly linked to the w3.group ecosystem. w3.hub serves as a Berlin events and co-working hub, w3.vision operates a decentralized media platform, and the firm's publicly named network includes protocol-foundation leaders from Solana, Celestia Labs, and Mento Labs. The model converts community-building and content production into early access to founder teams, particularly serial Web2 entrepreneurs moving into Web3.
Is w3.fund structured as a family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
w3.fund is an asset manager running a venture fund and a liquid token fund, not a family office. It operates as a regulated German fund manager, marketing subscription-based access to the liquid vehicle and fixed-term closes for the venture vehicle.
Does w3.fund participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Both strategies invest directly. w3.ventures takes equity and token positions in pre-seed and seed rounds. w3.wave deploys capital directly into liquid tokens. The firm does not describe a fund-of-funds or GP-commitment program.
What investment stages does w3.fund typically target?
w3.ventures focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage deals. w3.wave, by contrast, trades tokens that are already liquid — it has no stage constraint and can enter or exit positions monthly, with quarterly redemption windows for LPs.
How is w3.fund related to the broader w3.group?
w3.fund is the investment arm of w3.group, a Berlin-based ecosystem that also includes w3.hub (co-working and events), w3.labs (staking infrastructure with ISO-27001 certification pending), and w3.vision (a decentralized German-language media network). The group structure is designed to create a self-reinforcing flywheel where community, content, and infrastructure feed the fund's pipeline.
What is w3.fund's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
The firm does not publicly describe a formal co-investment program. Its venture vehicle leads or participates in seed rounds and its liquid fund trades directly, with no mention of club deals or co-underwriting with other VCs on its website.
