Cherry Ventures is a Berlin-based early-stage venture capital firm founded by entrepreneurs with experience in scaling companies like Zalando and Spotify. The firm focuses on investing in Europe's boldest founders, often serving as their first institutional investor, and supports them in areas such as go-to-market strategies and business scaling.
In 2022, Cherry Ventures launched Cherry Crypto I, a $34 million fund dedicated to investing in Web3 and crypto projects. This fund has already invested in platforms like Lido, Morpho, and BlackPool. The firm emphasizes token-based investments over equity and aims to support European crypto founders, leveraging its roots in the region.
