CVVC and Stellar Development Foundation officially launched their investment partnership. The two firms will co-invest in early-stage blockchain companies across pre-seed to Series A, with a focus on founders with strong market fit and teams building meaningful Stellar integrations. A co-run accelerator program with mentors from their portfolio is now accepting applications.
CVVC principal Brenton and Stellar investment lead Jerry discuss the formal launch of their investment partnership. Both firms invest across pre-seed to Series A, focused on founder-market fit and viable markets. At Stellar Enterprise Fund, Jerry emphasizes backing founders with clear vision and meaningful Stellar integration that drives TPV and TVL. Brenton highlights two underwriting pillars: strong teams with relevant experience and large, growing markets. The partnership combines CVVC's local diligence across Africa and emerging markets with Stellar's payment network and global ecosystem access. They've already co-invested in projects like Turnstay and OK High. Applications for the co-run accelerator program are now open with a deadline approaching.
