What NewTribe Capital does

NewTribe Capital is a privately held Web3 venture capital firm founded in 2021 and dual-headquartered at the RAK DAO Business Centre in Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) and on Tanjong Pagar Road in Singapore. The firm invests in early-stage blockchain and crypto initiatives across infrastructure, Web3 gaming, AI, DeFi, NFTs, middleware, and multichain platforms, with an explicit geographic emphasis on Asia, Europe, and MENA. To date it has deployed $50 million-plus across 200+ portfolio companies at an average ticket size of $200,000 and reports relationships with 300+ ecosystem partners and 250+ projects trusted by the firm.

The firm's core product is venture investment paired with a 16-pillar ecosystem support layer covering advisory, pitch deck and whitepaper development, legal support, recruitment, token economics, competitor review, market making, launchpad/centralized exchange guidance, KOL and influencer connections, KYC/KYB support, growth hacking, smart contract auditing, PR and publications, technical support, project partnerships, and strategic investor partnerships. Deal flow originates from three channels: a public project submission form on the firm website, referrals from ecosystem partners including Hub71, Draper Dragon, SOSV, Dfinity, Outlier Ventures, Foundership, and Cointelegraph Acceleration, and active participation in Web3 events worldwide. The firm also operates the NewTribe Gathering, a private invite-only networking event attended by 100+ C-suite executives, regulatory officials, and government representatives, and is co-hosting the RWA SUMMIT Dubai on May 1, 2026.

Revenue mechanics follow standard venture capital economics: management fees on committed or deployed capital, plus carried interest on successful portfolio exits through token launches, acquisitions, or secondary sales. The team of nine consists of four partners — Dhaval Parikh (Investment Lead), Juliet Su (Ecosystem Lead), Prashant C (Tech Lead), and Victor Olmo — supported by two investment associates (Mikita Maniar, Monika Modi), a Legal and Regulatory Advisor (Irina Heaver), a Marketing Manager (Viivek Mehata), and an Ecosystem Manager (Alvaro Molina). Customer-facing activity is concentrated in the UAE regulatory ecosystem and the broader Middle East, with a notable anchor investment being a $5 million commitment to NEAR Protocol projects announced via Bloomberg in May 2022.
