Investment Thesis
Geometry is a research and development firm that partners with teams in the decentralized technology space. They focus on foundational protocols and networks, providing deep technical contributions in cryptography, mechanism design, and protocol engineering. Rather than just providing capital, they act as hands-on builders, incubators, and researchers, often from the earliest stages. Their unique value proposition is their embedded R&D support to help scale and secure complex decentralized systems.
Manager's Experience
The firm is led by founder Kamal Obbad, who was previously a co-founder of a venture-backed startup and an investor at a multi-billion dollar VC firm focusing on infrastructure software. The team includes a Head of Engineering from Google and other members with deep technical and research experience from companies like Amazon and Jane Street. Their collective expertise is concentrated in decentralized organizations, web3 infrastructure, and open-source software.
