Two Hop Ventures

What is Two Hop Ventures?

Two Hop Ventures, situated in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is a venture capital firm that concentrates on seeding and developing early to mid-stage companies by investing primarily in the technology sector with a particular emphasis on FinTech, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and LegalTech areas.

They have carved out a specialized focus on the BitcoinSV (BSV) ecosystem, supporting startups that leverage the unique capabilities of the BitcoinSV blockchain.

They pursue ventures that possess proprietary technology, a proof of concept, target substantial markets, and embody a comprehensive team structure. Two Hop Ventures emphasizes infrastructure investments within the blockchain space, recognizing its potential to capture significant value.

Their approach typically caters to B2B models that stand to benefit from blockchain integration without depending on mainstream user adoption. They aim to remove blockchain complexities for end-users by fostering the development of applications that obfuscate the underlying technology.

With a stated investment range between $100,000 to $5,000,000, their sweet spot for investments is around $1,500,000. The firm refrains from investing in crypto-only companies, preferring to exchange funds for compliant securities.

Excluded from their investment scope are startups that have not developed their own technology, lack a proof of concept, have a narrow market focus, or have a single-person team. Additionally, Two Hop Ventures does not venture into sectors considered either too capital intensive or too mature for the firm's investment strategy and fund size. The experienced team, led by general partners Jan Smit (formerly of Bain & Company), Alex Fauvel (formerly of Cyber Capital), and Jerry Chan (formerly of SBI Group), underscores the company's commitment to innovative ventures capable of securing the internet on a blockchain.

They share regular updates through their channels, including newsletters and social media platforms. Two Hop Ventures holds itself out as a firm delivering strategic investment insight, aiming to position itself at the forefront of blockchain development and internet security.
