What Haun Ventures does

Haun Ventures is a US-based venture capital firm founded in March 2022 by Katie Haun, a former federal prosecutor who established the US Department of Justice's first digital currency task force and a former Andreessen Horowitz General Partner who co-led its blockchain franchise. The firm is headquartered in Silicon Valley and operates as a limited partnership (Haun Ventures Management LP) registered as an investment adviser. Haun Ventures invests across early to late stages in companies building crypto infrastructure, stablecoins, tokenization, payments, digital banking, and — as of Fund II in May 2026 — AI agent software and frontier technology including robotics and energy.

The firm's investment platform is structured across dedicated fund vehicles. Fund I raised $1.5 billion in March 2022, split between a $500 million early-stage vehicle and a $1 billion acceleration fund. Fund II closed $1 billion in May 2026, split evenly between early-stage and growth vehicles, bringing total assets under management to approximately $2.5 billion. The portfolio spans more than 25 named companies including stablecoin infrastructure (Circle, BVNK, Trace Finance), cross-border payments (Airwallex, XFX, Squads), tokenization (Superstate), digital banking (Erebor, the first new OCC-chartered bank opening in February 2026), Bitcoin-denominated insurance (Meanwhile), and AI-driven consumer and trading platforms (Jota, Liquid, Lighter).

Haun Ventures generates returns through equity ownership in portfolio companies, realizing gains through IPOs, acquisitions, and secondary transactions. Notable exits include Bridge's $1.1 billion acquisition by Stripe and BVNK's approximately $1.8 billion acquisition by Mastercard. The firm does not publicly disclose management fee or carried interest structures. Limited partners include sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, pensions, and financial institutions. The investment team comprises Founder and CEO Katie Haun, General Partner Diogo Mónica (co-founder of Anchorage Digital), Partners Chris Ahn and Breck Stodghill, Principal Mark Beylin, plus operational leadership including CFO Kevin Bissell, General Counsel James Rathmell, and Head of Investor Relations Suzanne Kim.
