Crypto VC Singapore is a short list on NAUT's own record: NAUT tracks 11 venture firms it places in Singapore with at least 1 backed round on file, from NGC Ventures with 144 portfolio companies down to 4 funds with 1 each. Read on 2 November 2026, 1 of the 11 carries a round announced in 2026: NGC Ventures backed Walapay's $4.6M seed, announced 2026-10-02.
How this list was built: on 2 November 2026, NAUT read all 70 investor rows in its database whose country field says Singapore. 50 of those rows carry no backed round on NAUT's record at all, so nothing can be said about their activity here. Of the 20 rows that do carry backed rounds, 9 were dropped because the row's own description describes a different kind of company (a sovereign wealth fund, a crypto exchange, a staking platform, a lending firm, a trading desk, an infrastructure builder that also invests), an individual rather than a firm, or a headquarters outside Singapore that contradicts the country field. The 11 that remain are venture firms by their own description. Every count below is NAUT's own record of rounds and backers, never a full picture of what each fund has done.
Which crypto VC Singapore firms does NAUT track?
These are the 11 firms, ranked by the number of distinct portfolio companies on NAUT's record. A search for blockchain VC Singapore lands on the same 11 rows, because NAUT types each firm by what its own description says rather than by the word it uses for itself. "Rounds" counts every round row the fund appears in, so it runs ahead of the company count where a fund backed the same team twice, and "Last" is the announce date of the fund's most recent round. Firm names run short in the tables; each link opens the full NAUT page.

NAUT's fund type field reads Venture for 8 of the 11, Corporate for Web3.com Ventures and Cobo Ventures, and is not set for R8 Capital. Only NGC Ventures carries a 2026-dated round. The Cobo Ventures page carries 1 backed round, announced 2022-08-29.
How many companies has each crypto VC Singapore fund backed?
NGC Ventures holds 144 of the 227 portfolio companies across all 11 funds, which is 63% of the list. The 4 funds left out of the chart back 1 company each on NAUT's record: XT Labs, Insignia Venture Partners, Infinity Labs and Cobo Ventures.
Which Singapore crypto fund is active in 2026?
NGC Ventures is the 1 fund of the 11 with a 2026-dated round on NAUT's record. NAUT's data shows it backed Walapay's $4.6M seed round, announced 2026-10-02, and that its earliest round on file runs back to 2018-03-28. Superscout, an investor profile site, puts the fund's assets under management above $500M, and NAUT's own record describes NGC, also known as NEO Global Capital, as a Singapore-based venture fund for Web3 and decentralized technology teams, established 2017.
The next most recent rounds on NAUT's record belong to Blockchain Founders Fund (2025-07-09) and Oak Grove Ventures (2025-02-24). The remaining 8 funds last appear in a round dated 2024 or earlier. A gap in NAUT's record is a gap in what NAUT has ingested for that fund, so a founder should read it as "nothing recent on file here" rather than as a fund that stopped writing cheques.
What does each Singapore fund say it invests in?
Each line is the firm's own stated remit as it appears on its NAUT page, next to "First", the date of its first round on NAUT. Use these to sort a target list before anyone writes a first message. Each fund's NAUT page carries the site NAUT holds for it.
| Firm | Stated remit | First |
|---|---|---|
| NGC |
Web3 and decentralized technology teams, established 2017 | 2018-03-28 |
| PetRock |

2 of the 11 are corporate arms by NAUT's fund type: Web3.com Ventures and Cobo Ventures. Crunchbase describes Cobo Ventures as the corporate venture capital arm of Cobo, a custody and wallet provider, which matches what NAUT's record says. XT Labs is typed Venture on NAUT while its own NAUT description ties it to the XT.COM exchange, so treat it as an exchange-linked fund when you plan an approach. Insignia Venture Partners sits on this list on 1 crypto round, and its wider portfolio includes the Southeast Asian fintech company Fazz, per its own portfolio page.
What this tells a founder raising in Singapore
- 1 of these 11 funds has written a cheque NAUT has on file in 2026, so a Singapore-only list is a short list. Pair it with funds based elsewhere that invest into the region.
- Cheque-count tells you who has done this often: NGC Ventures (144 companies), PetRock Capital (30) and Blockchain Founders Fund (20) account for 194 of the 227 companies on this list.
- 4 funds back 1 crypto company each on NAUT's record, so for them a crypto round is occasional rather than their main line.
- Stage matters more than country here. Blockchain Founders Fund and Infinity Labs describe themselves as seed and early stage; Oak Grove Ventures spreads across Web3, AI and biotech.
- Sort by cheque countStart with NGC Ventures at 144 companies, PetRock Capital at 30 and Blockchain Founders Fund at 20.
- Match the remitDrop any fund whose stated remit misses your sector before you write a word.
- Read the portfolioEach fund's NAUT page lists its rounds and the companies behind them, so you can name a comparable deal.
- Find the partnerThe fund's NAUT page lists its team, and each person page shows which channels NAUT has on file.
What this tells a BD or investor relations team
- The freshest warm path on this list runs through NGC Ventures and Walapay: 1 round, announced 2026-10-02, with both sides on NAUT.
- 10 of the 11 funds last appear in a round dated 2025 or earlier on NAUT's record, which makes a "what are you looking at now" opener honest and useful.

- Singapore crypto funds reach past this list: 50 further Singapore Web3 investors sit in NAUT's database as investor rows with no backed round on file. They are reachable, they just have no deal record here to open with.

Can you pull this data through the NAUT API?
Yes. Every row above comes back from 1 call per fund: GET https://api.naut.so/v1/investors/ngc-ventures returns the fund with its team and its portfolio rows, each carrying the company, round type, amount in USD, announce date and the lead flag, and the same call works for the other 10 slugs in the tables. To search funds instead of naming one, GET https://api.naut.so/v1/investors?q=NGC%20Ventures&sort=portfolio takes q, fundType, trustTier and sort, and both calls cost 5 credits with an Authorization: Bearer $NAUT_KEY header; the parameters are in the API docs and the credit bundles on pricing. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn for the people on these fund pages unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial if you need to reach them.
