Lisbon, Portugal -- January 24, 2025 -- AgileGTM Blockchain Fund, a Lisbon-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage B2B blockchain startups, announced the first close of its new $10M (€9.6M) fund, securing $2M (€1.9M). The fund is anchored by WOOD & Company, a leading investment bank in Central and Eastern Europe.
With this fund, AgileGTM aims to bridge significant gaps across industries by supporting startups that deliver transformative B2B blockchain solutions. A Go-To-Market (GTM) boot camp, integral to AgileGTM's value proposition, is already underway. Portfolio companies are set to graduate by the end of February, positioning them for rapid growth and market adoption.
The fund plans to invest in 3-6 startups from an initial pool of over 500 candidates. These startups operate in the B2B blockchain space and typically have angel funding, with AgileGTM contributing to their seed rounds. The firm targets commercially savvy entrepreneurs who are building scalable blockchain businesses, rather than mere products.
"We are backing founders from diverse backgrounds who are targeting impactful, developing markets with validated B2B revenue," said Filippo Chisari, General Partner at AgileGTM. "Our focus is on entrepreneurs with commercial acumen, not wishful thinkers. We invest in businesses poised to scale and make meaningful contributions to their industries."
AgileGTM's hands-on approach includes its GTM boot camp, designed to fast-track startups toward achieving Product-Market Fit. The firm typically invests $150,000 in exchange for up to 6% equity, maintaining a high level of selectivity with plans to deliver 40-50 pre-seed investments.
"When we built AgileGTM, our vision was clear: to redefine blockchain venture capital in Europe," Chisari added. "Our goal is to create an ecosystem of high-impact entrepreneurs, backed by top co-investors and driven by aligned interests. We are committed to enhancing the value chain at every step, leveraging blockchain's transformative potential to leave a lasting legacy."
