Thesis

Archetype is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York City. The firm's core investment thesis is to back crypto-native founders and protocols in their earliest stages, focusing on those disrupting existing markets or creating new ones through blockchain innovation. They explicitly avoid non-crypto-native teams or projects that merely digitize existing models. Archetype's strategy involves leading and co-leading seed rounds to build deep relationships with founders from the outset. The firm primarily invests in pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages with a global geographic focus. Archetype has raised capital across multiple funds, with a total AUM of approximately $350 million. Their typical check size ranges from $100,000 to $10 million, with specific funds making initial checks between $500,000 to $5 million, and some strategies indicating check sizes of $1 million to $3 million. The team is described as crypto-native with diverse expertise.
