Key Points:
Hootie Rashidifard has launched a new seed-stage crypto fund, Hash3, with a $29 million investment aimed at early-stage startups. The fund will invest between $250,000 and $1 million in passionate founders with the goal of building an open and permissionless future.
Hash3 has made ten investments thus far, including Ajna.finance, Crossmint, and EigenLayer. The fund has been quietly active for the past year, and its largest focus area is infra/middleware. Hash3 aims to become a collective of like-minded individuals, spanning across the portfolio and lp base.
Hash3’s investment framework is listed publicly, and the investment criteria serve as a starting point for determining whether a prospective opportunity fits the fund’s underwriting model. When evaluating protocols, Hootie’s philosophy is that decentralized protocols must maintain immutability, trust minimization, censorship resistance, robust economic policy, and utility to drive a sustainable business model. These are core principles that result in robust participant incentives.
Hootie Rashidifard has a history of investing in crypto and fintech, having spent five years at Canaan Partners, a $7B AUM early-stage fund, where he invested in crypto and fintech starting in 2017. Prior to investing, he worked on the business operations team at LinkedIn (acquired by Microsoft) and in tech investment banking. He graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Mathematics and Economics from Northwestern University.
For founders seeking investment, Hash3 is open for business and actively investing. Hootie is willing to lead, co-lead, or participate in fundraising rounds, and he likes to meet founders early. He can be reached by direct message.
According to a blog post, Hash3 has partnered with experienced advisors who are incentivized to support their portfolio, including:
