Seed Club Ventures

Seed Club Ventures is a Venture DAO backing early-stage founders at the intersection of Web3 and community. It is the investment arm of Seed Club, the accelerator DAO and network for builders in crypto, culture, and community, founded and led by Jess Sloss. The fund publicly emerged from stealth in March 2023 with a $25 million vehicle anchored by Multicoin Capital and joined by Delphi Digital, Dragonfly Capital, and more than 60 family offices, traditional venture capital firms, and crypto-native investors — though the team had been quietly deploying capital since the third quarter of 2021. The 11-person core team includes Jess Sloss and Timour Kosters, alongside a broader DAO membership of roughly 63 innovators and investors. Seed Club Ventures deploys at pre-seed and seed stages with checks from $100,000 to $1 million, and leads rounds. The thesis centers on shifting value from centralized web2 platforms to web3 creator economies — investing in infrastructure, applications, and tooling for DAOs, tokenized communities, decentralized collaboration, and user-owned networks. Across 38 disclosed investments, named portfolio companies include Guild, Stability AI, Lens Protocol, Metalabel, Plastic Labs, Inference Labs, and Snowstorm — the latter a $3 million seed round co-led by Seed Club alongside EchoVC Partners. Recent investments include Inference Labs (Seed, June 2025) and Plastic Labs (April 2025). The Seed Club network is itself a structural asset: DAO membership and the accelerator program give portfolio founders access to a dense community of web3 builders, protocol designers, and tokenomics specialists that operates as a distributed advisory and co-founder-finding layer. This community-as-infrastructure model is the firm's primary differentiation from conventional venture funds operating in the same thesis space.
