Investing in Stanford Blockchain Founders

The Blockchain Builders team has been a critical asset for pod. With their strong connections in the Web3 space and unique ability to help us earn mindshare at their flagship events, they've been incredibly helpful as we've navigated fundraising and early growth. Having support from people who've been down this road before makes a big difference.

-Shresth Agrawal, CEO/Cofounder pod

Working with Blockchain Builders Fund has been like adding co-founders who deeply understand both the founder journey and the frontier of crypto. From day one, they’ve been in the trenches with us—bringing not just capital, but critical assets like the Stanford crypto community, strategic intros, and distribution firepower through BASS and ETH SF. Their support was pivotal in helping us close our first key partnerships and sharpen our GTM and investor pitch.

-Michael Heinrich, Founder/CEO 0g.ai

BBF is simply one of the best partners a founder could ask for. They’ve been part of the team from day one, helping us drive critical milestones through high-impact strategic introductions and founder-first support. Their help in scaling our ecosystem to over 50 key partners, many across the Stanford landscape, has been transformational. We’re proud to have them on the Nexus journey from the very start.

-Daniel Marin, Founder/CEO Nexus

Blockchain Builders has been the key relationship in our journey: from that first Stanford Blockchain class, to monthly strategy sessions, their accelerator, and their intros that led directly to an a16z CSX investment. Their thought-provoking guidance keeps sharpening our product, and their BASS events and private meet-ups are my go-to hubs for top-tier crypto connections. They’re more than backers—they’re indispensable partners and friends.
