Investment Thesis

Fabric Ventures is building the Open Economy by backing founders creating user-owned networks built on artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and self-sovereignty. Their team has deep technical understanding of the Open Web and has been contributing to a fairer, more productive, and sustainable Open Economy for over a decade. They believe in a human-centric future where decentralized protocols enable trustless, autonomous coordination at scale, contrasting with traditional platforms that rely on intermediaries.
