About Orange DAO

Orange DAO is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm and decentralized autonomous organization founded in 2021 by Y Combinator alumni to democratize venture capital for the crypto ecosystem. Its investment thesis targets early-stage crypto and Web3 startups, primarily at the pre-seed and seed stages, with a portfolio heavily concentrated in fintech (60%) and decentralized finance (30%). The firm typically writes checks of $100,000 to $300,000 per startup, often acting as an initial supporter rather than a lead investor in larger rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Liquifi, a crypto cap table management service; Goldfinch, a decentralized credit platform; and Spritz, a crypto payments tool. A distinctive point of view is its hybrid structure combining a DAO for community governance with a traditional venture fund managed by general partners like Ben Huh and Don Ho. Beyond capital, Orange DAO emphasizes mentorship, recruitment assistance, and an accelerator program to foster a more equitable future in Web3.
