Cogitent Ventures presents itself as a "VC supporting early stage projects in Crypto field" and states that it promotes "the growth of the global economy by investing intellectual and financial capital in emerging companies within any field, with special emphasis on the world of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and disruptive technologies" (the firm's own claims). Its stated coverage spans layer 1 blockchains, DeFi, NFTs, metaverse, GameFi and cross-chain protocols. The site says its "core team of alumni from the UCLA Anderson School of Management" comes from commercial and investment banking and technological innovation, but names no individual. Being crypto-native, any token positions the firm holds are not equity holdings.
