About Chorus One Ventures

Chorus One Ventures is the investment arm of Chorus One, one of the leading institutional node operators. Founded in 2018, we combine the operational experience of running validator nodes across 50+ networks with cutting-edge research and a forward-thinking, long-term investment focus.

Through our deep roots in Proof-of-Stake ecosystems, we are uniquely positioned to help teams through the technical and operational challenges of building and scaling decentralized networks. As Chorus One, we bring together deep technical knowledge, market insights, and a proven track record supporting projects from inception to mainnet and beyond.

This expertise enables us to identify and back promising projects early, making high-conviction investments and supporting teams throughout market cycles.

Investment Approach

From first check to later stage
We invest from pre-seed to later rounds, backing exceptional founders with proven track records, execution bias, and long-term vision.
High-Conviction Investments
We make disciplined, high-conviction investments in quality projects, prioritizing thorough research over quantity of deals.
Operational Support
We offer our support as operators deeply connected in the ecosystem - from running infrastructure on testnets, feedback on tokenomics design, governance participation, and connections to key ecosystem players.
Global Network
We invest globally, sourcing high quality deals through our extensive network.

Our Portfolio

The market capitalization of all PoS assets has grown tremendously and a majority of this market cap has been staked. Almost half of the top 20 assets use an underlying PoS network for consensus. To best support this flourishing ecosystem Chorus One is taking the next step to support other projects through funds.

To date, Chorus One has made over 50 investments in this space and we plan to continue investing in disrupting ideas!
