Edward Moncada is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Protofund, an early-stage venture capital firm he launched in 2021 in Los Angeles alongside former Blockfolio colleague Jonathan Chu[1][2]. He brings significant operator experience to his investor role, having previously served as Co-Founder and CEO of Blockfolio, the leading mobile crypto portfolio tracker that reached 6 million users before being acquired by FTX in 2020[2][4]. Protofund’s investment thesis targets pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds in web3/blockchain and consumer technology sectors, with a geographic focus on builders globally but rooted in the U.S. market[2][12]. The firm is explicitly “designed by builders for builders,” emphasizing active strategic support alongside capital, though specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly disclosed[12]. Notable portfolio companies include Brine.fi, which raised a $17 million Series A in September 2023 with Protofund as an investor, and Tokensoft, in which Moncada made an angel investment in January 2022[10][12]. Moncada’s distinctive point of view centers on leveraging his operational background to support web3 consumer applications, as reflected
