Before we asked anyone else to invest in us, we spent over a decade investing in each other.
The partnership is the track record.
Draper Goren Blockchain was co-founded by Tim Draper, Alon Goren, and David Bleznak. Alon and David are the Managing Partners, running the studio and the fund day to day.
One of the most successful venture investors of his generation and the earliest major institutional conviction in Bitcoin. A global founder pipeline through Draper Associates, Draper University, and the Draper Venture Network. Tim gives our companies instant credibility on every continent.
Building tokenized assets since before the category had a name. Founder of Crowd Invest Summit and Security Token Summit, the rooms the entire digital-securities industry passed through. More than 60 blockchain investments. Co-founder and board member of Ownera.
A real estate investor and operator before he was a crypto founder. David grew up in the property business and brings real-asset underwriting instincts to the exact category DGB builds in. He founded Totle, exited it to Coinbase, and advises our founders from lived experience on both sides of the seam.
Chief Operating Officer. A seasoned operator across legal, finance, and portfolio administration, and a longtime DeFi and NFT educator.
Twenty-five years of engineering leadership across corporate fintech and startups.
Executive operations. Keeps the partners, the calendar, and the portfolio moving.
When the studio wins, the fund and our partners win with it. Two engines, one parent, one aligned team, so the incentives point the same direction. We share our best opportunities with our LPs and partners and stand up new vehicles as the thesis proves out, turning our optionality into shared upside.
