Haun Ventures

About

Haun Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2022 by Katie Haun, a former federal prosecutor with extensive experience in cryptocurrency regulation. The firm is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, and focuses on investing in the next generation of the internet, particularly in the crypto and web3 sectors.

Investment Focus

Haun Ventures invests across all layers of the crypto technology stack and at every stage of company development. They manage a $500 million early-stage fund and a $1 billion acceleration fund, supporting teams building decentralized technologies, including cryptographic protocols, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain solutions.

Fund

Recently, the firm is raising an additional $1 billion for two new crypto-focused funds, which is expected to close in June 2025, amid the growing blockchain boom fueled by the Trump-driven market movements.

Other Information
