About
Strobe Ventures is the independent crypto venture firm spun out of BlockTower VC in 2025, retaining its team, limited partners and portfolio. Based in New York and Miami, it backs early-stage companies and protocols in DeFi, blockchain infrastructure and consumer crypto. The spinout accompanied the merger of BlockTower’s other businesses with Arca. At its launch in 2025, Strobe reported more than $235 million in assets under management; this figure covers the venture business, separately from the former firm’s liquid investment and credit strategies. Its approach combines a concentrated portfolio with close support for founders. In France, its portfolio includes Morpho and Narval: the decentralized lending protocol and the digital asset governance platform were funded under the BlockTower name. Ethena, Maple, Aptos and Ledger also appear in its published portfolio. The investment team is led by Thomas Klocanas, Managing Partner, alongside Steven Venino, General Partner, and Winnie Lau, Partner. For French crypto founders, Strobe provides access to a specialist team and a network of protocols and US industry participants.
