Investment Thesis

Programmable pursues a data-first, permissionless approach to early crypto investing: they leverage on-chain transaction records and open-source protocol code to find signal in noise and to measure real-world impact in real time. Rather than relying on founder demos or private analytics, they direct capital to protocols that enable “permissionless innovation” and make valuable assets openly programmable, with an emphasis on practical, compounding value creation over time.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Programmable Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in Blockchain Crypto, Fintech, Lending, and Insurtech.

Focus statement

They invest early in crypto protocols that unlock permissionless innovation—particularly those that make assets programmable (starting with borderless lending and parametric insurance)—using proprietary software to detect and predict impactful protocols from on-chain and open-source signals.

Value Add

Permissionless data advantage: they emphasize that "transactions are recorded on the blockchain, and... protocols are open source," removing the need for founders' private data.
Proprietary signal systems: "We build software systems that find signal amidst deafening noise" and "Our systems measure, classify and predict the real-world impact of protocols in real time."
Outcome-oriented measurement: focus on measuring real-world impact rather than traditional VC artifacts (demos, design docs, code samples).
Team and backers: founded by Google alumni (Douglas de Jager, Sebastian Millius, Simon Overell) with lead investor AlphaLab Capital—bringing algorithmic/engineering pedigree.
