Tobias Bauer will be promoted to Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund, a top Web3 venture capital firm, on the occasion of his third year with the company. Tobias has established himself as a leader and contributed significantly to the expansion of the company since he joined. Tobias continues to collaborate closely with management to find pre-seed and seed stage web3 and blockchain firms with significant growth potential.

Managing Partner of Blockchain Founders Fund Aly Madhavji said, “Tobi has significantly improved the fund in all facets, and we are extremely happy to have him as a partner. He has played a crucial role in the portfolio’s general health as well as in assisting us in finding excellent businesses to invest in. To have him as a Partner, we are overjoyed.”

Tobias represents the business internationally at conferences and events as a thought leader and active public speaker. He is also a Venture Partner of Republic and a startup coach for 500 Startups, APX, PlugAndPlay, NUMA New York, and Alchemist Accelerator.

Tobias remarked, “Being a partner and travelling with such an experienced team, limited partners, and founder network is an honour for me. Pioneers in the field, Aly and Mansoor have created a remarkable company that consistently questions the existing quo. I’m eager to assist them in carrying out their innovative work and supporting entrepreneurs as they create successful businesses.”

Tobias developed a growth attitude while growing up in the sleepy German village of Oberammergau and had a strong desire to travel. Since then, he has lived in nine different nations in Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, flourishing in new settings and developing his leadership abilities, values, and knowledge of many cultures.

Tobias worked in China on the investment team of Orbit Startups (previously Chinaccelerator), one of the world’s top accelerator programmes run by the venture fund SOSV with $1.3B+ AUM, before joining Blockchain Founders Fund. In Shanghai, he met Blockchain Founders Fund Partners Aly and Mansoor Madhavji, and in December 2019 he started working there as an intern. Tobias’ initiative, work ethic, and strategic thinking had an instant impact. He received numerous promotions, including that to Associate, Head of Partnerships, Principal, and, most recently, Partner.

Mansoor remarked: “We’ve been through some bull and bear cycles, we’ve learned, laughed, and grown a lot together, and I consider us family, so that’s why I’m most happy about this announcement. This marks a significant turning point, a celebration of past successes, and a step toward the milestones we will share as partners.”
