Hack VC co-investors: 173 backers, Polychain on 8 of 33 rounds

By NAUT Research · · 6 min read

173 Hack VC co-investors backers on Hack VC's 33 round records on NAUT, read 13 November 2026. Logos: Berachain, Sentient, Babylon, EigenCloud, Eclipse, 0G, Movement, io.net.

NAUT tracks 173 Hack VC co-investors, the backers that sit alongside the crypto venture firm on the 33 round records NAUT holds for it, read on 13 November 2026. Polychain Capital shares the most, 8 of the 33 rounds, ahead of Amber Group and OKX Ventures at 7 each.

Data as of 13 November 2026, counted from NAUT's own funding records: the 33 rounds where Hack VC appears as a backer, across 29 companies (0G, Berachain, Fhenix and Babylon hold 2 rounds each). Every figure below is counted from the 33 round records. The 173 backers are 165 organisation rows and 8 individual angels. NAUT holds Animoca under 2 rows, the company Animoca Brands and its fund Animoca Brands (Ventures); both sit on the same 5 rounds, so the ranking counts them once, under the fund row, while the 173 counts both rows. Delphi Digital and Delphi Ventures are 2 separate rows that share the Delphi name: they are ranked apart, and between them they sit on 7 of the 33 rounds. The Delphi Ventures row is matched to these rounds by name only: its NAUT page belongs to a different firm, a life-sciences investor, so the row is ranked on NAUT's round records but not linked, and this report does not treat it as a reachable crypto fund. 19 of the 33 round records carry no announce date on NAUT. 2 of those 19 carry a date on their company's NAUT page: Eclipse's $50M Series A is dated 11 Mar 2024 there and by The Block, and Babylon's $70M round is dated 30 May 2024 on its page; the counts below use the round records. Apart from that date check, NAUT put 9 claims to outside sources for this report: 3 describe the firms, and 6 cover rounds, of which 5 are cited below. The 6th, Sentient's seed, came back confirmed from a page that could not be re-read and had no second source, so it is left uncited; the other 27 rounds were not put to an outside source. NAUT Research wrote this report; no one paid for it.

4 of the 15 came back for a second round at the same company, so they span fewer companies than rounds: Polychain Capital (8 rounds, 6 companies) is on both Berachain rounds and both Babylon rounds, OKX Ventures has 7 rounds at 6 companies, and Animoca Brands (Ventures) and Delphi Digital each have 5 rounds at 4. The other 11 backed a different company in every round they share. OKX Ventures is the corporate venture arm of the exchange OKX, and Amber Group invests through its Amber Labs team, which, in its own words, "focuses on primary market research and investment in the Web3 field." Bankless, the crypto media brand, is held on NAUT as an investor row. Below the top 15 the tail is long: 60 of the 173 backers share 2 or more rounds, 25 share 3 or more, and 113 appear on just 1.

Which Hack VC rounds are the largest, and who else backed them?

All 33 rounds carry an amount on NAUT, $784.9M in total at a $12M median. The 10 largest run from $100M down to $30M; the last column counts the other backers NAUT holds on that round.

Outside reports confirm Hack VC in 5 of these 10: Berachain's $100M Series B in April 2024, with Polychain Capital also in it; Berachain's $42M Series A in April 2023, which Polychain Capital led; Movement's $38M Series A in April 2024, also led by Polychain Capital; and 2 rounds where the reports name Hack VC as the lead, 0G's $40M seed in November 2024 and io.net's $30M Series A in March 2024. NAUT's own records flag none of those leads: the only round where NAUT marks Hack VC as lead is Raven's $2.7M seed of 14 May 2024, and no co-investor carries a lead flag on any of the 33.

What the Hack VC co-investors list tells a BD team

  • The repeat core is 15 names. 15 backers share 4 or more Hack VC rounds; 14 of them link to their own NAUT page, which shows the team where NAUT holds one (the Delphi Ventures row is a name match to a life-sciences firm's page), so a team selling to funds has a working list before it starts.
  • The biggest syndicates open the most doors. Babylon's $70M round holds 23 other backers on NAUT, io.net's Series A 22 and Berachain's Series B 21.
  • The newest rounds are the warmest. The 2 dated in 2025 are 375ai's $5M on 8 October 2025, with a Delphi Ventures row (name match only) among 5 other backers, and Stable's $28M seed on 31 July 2025, with Castle Island Ventures and Mirana Ventures among 9.
