Electric Capital fund
Overview
Electric Capital is a venture capital firm that has been investing since 2018 in frontier technology, with a long-standing focus on crypto and what it calls trust-minimised systems. It invests from preseed to Series A with cheque sizes from $1 million to $15 million and more, and states it has deployed over $3 billion in total. Its stated focus areas extend well beyond crypto to artificial intelligence, cryptography, distributed systems, fintech, healthcare, energy marketplaces, government systems, identity and reputation, and the creator economy. The firm positions itself as an engineer-led investor: it says its investors actively write code, that the partnership has collectively started eight companies (six of which were acquired), run billion-dollar business units, and invested in 100+ startups now worth over $50 billion combined. Electric Capital is best known publicly for its annual Developer Report, a widely cited dataset tracking open-source crypto developer activity across ecosystems. Founded and investing since 2018, Electric Capital grew from a crypto-native seed fund into a broader frontier-tech investor, and its Developer Report has become one of the industry's standard references for measuring blockchain developer activity.
