Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at YTWO?
Founding partners Yan Marchinskiy and Yuriy Gushchin lead the firm, with Umedjon Ikromov heading research. The firm has not publicly disclosed an investment committee structure beyond the named founders. Day-to-day sourcing and technical evaluation appear to sit with the research team, which includes five listed analysts and researchers.
Does YTWO make fund commitments or only direct investments?
YTWO positions itself as a direct investor, providing venture capital to early-stage crypto startups. Its public materials do not reference participation in external fund commitments, fund-of-funds structures, or LP positions in other managers. The staking validator offers a separate revenue stream but sits outside the venture-investment function.
What investment stages does YTWO target?
YTWO invests at the seed and startup stages, explicitly focusing on pre-revenue, early-stage crypto and web3 companies. The firm states it avoids short-term trading opportunities and ephemeral trends, orienting instead toward projects intended for long-term protocol-level deployment. There is no public evidence of growth-stage or later-round participation.
