Hartmann Capital

Hartmann Capital is a frontier tech investment firm founded in 2018 by Felix Hartmann at age 23 in Boca Raton, Florida. Starting with approximately $200K in initial capital, Hartmann scaled the firm into a roughly $50 million investment platform operating multiple vehicles: Hartmann Digital Assets (launched 2018, a long-biased multi-strategy crypto hedge fund), Hartmann Metaverse Ventures I (launched October 2021, a pure metaverse venture fund that deployed approximately $15 million into infrastructure, content, and access points of the metaverse), Hartmann Metaverse Ventures II (a follow-on vehicle), and Hartmann Frontier Opportunities I (a fund of funds). The current active fund is approximately $30 million, with check sizes ranging from $300K to $3 million at pre-seed and seed stages. The firm leads rounds. Core investment theses span generative AI, brain-computer interfaces, XR and spatial computing, programmable biology, and robotics. The portfolio includes approximately 20 to 35 investments: Sinn Studio (a Toronto-based award-winning XR combat studio, with a $2.5 million round led by Hartmann), ShapesXR, TrippVR (wellness VR), Squido Studio (Seed, November 2024), Cathedral Studios, and Redpill VR. Felix Hartmann serves on the boards of ShapesXR, TrippVR, Squido, Sinn, and Cathedral Studios. According to the Carta VC Fund Performance Report, the firm ranks in the top decile of its vintage cohort by IRR, TVPI, and DPI. Hartmann's investment approach emphasizes opportunities that produce global paradigm shifts — the firm backs technologies it believes will fundamentally restructure how humans interact with digital and physical reality. The founder's early entry into crypto and the metaverse, combined with a methodical expansion into AI and biotech, reflects a thesis-driven strategy that seeks exposure to technologies ahead of mainstream adoption.
