DecentraNet

What DecentraNet does

DecentraNet is an early-stage venture investment fund and advisory firm that supports ventures intended to "positively reshape our world." Founded in 2017 and operating as DecentraNet LLC, the firm invests at the earliest stages — Friends-and-Family, Pre-Seed, and Seed — while simultaneously providing strategic advisory services to a client base that ranges from early-stage startups to multi-billion-dollar public companies. Its investment thesis is concentrated across four verticals: Blockchain/Social Impact, Psychedelics & Mental Health, Next-Generation Therapeutics, and Space Tech. A publicly visible portfolio includes recognizable blockchain-adjacent names such as Casper, Securrency, EQIBank, and NFTpay.

The firm operates from a deliberately dual-jurisdiction footprint with offices in Austin, Texas and San Juan, Puerto Rico, positioning it to access both US mainland startup deal flow and Puerto Rico's crypto-friendly regulatory environment. With a 1–10 person team led by founder Matt Mckibbin (titled Chief Decentralization Officer) and co-founder Ted Moskovitz, supplemented by functional leads for operations/finance and communications, DecentraNet runs a lean, relationship-driven operation. Marketing and community engagement run through Medium, Facebook, Twitter, and an email newsletter, consistent with its stated community-led go-to-market motion.

Commercially, DecentraNet generates revenue through two streams: venture fund management (realized on portfolio exits, IPOs, or secondaries) and professional-services advisory fees. Neither revenue stream is disclosed in dollar terms, pricing is not public, and only one funding event ($0, April 2017) is recorded. The firm holds no patents, awards, or formal partnerships in disclosed records, and its technology stack is not applicable given its fund/advisory business model.

• 8VC: Austin-based venture firm investing across biotech, space, and frontier tech. Comparable as a multi-vertical thesis-driven investor with geographic overlap (Austin) and adjacent sector coverage to DecentraNet.
