Prelude is a first-check crypto fund based in London, supporting entrepreneurs at the earliest stages.

We operate on the following pillars:

Nothing is too early. We back teams with just an idea.
We lead or co-lead rounds with $500k - $2m checks. Our approach is to build high conviction and go all-in when others won't.
Each fund invests in ~30 companies. We work closely with teams from the start and throughout their journey.

Global by default. Incredible entrepreneurs can emerge from anywhere.

We invest in tokens and equity, across different verticals and business models.
