Hutt Capital is a blockchain venture capital fund of funds platform that partners with leading blockchain VC firms to deliver diversified exposure to promising blockchain and crypto startups worldwide through fund investments, secondaries, and direct co-investments.[1][2] Its mission centers on providing investors access to high-potential crypto opportunities via a curated, multi-strategy approach, with a portfolio including notable names like BlockFi and investments in blockchain-focused funds.[1][4] The firm's investment philosophy emphasizes diversification across top-tier VC managers in the blockchain space, targeting global crypto startups while leveraging expertise in private markets.[1][3]
Operating from Portland, OR, and North Palm Beach, FL, Hutt Capital has influenced the startup ecosystem by channeling capital into blockchain ventures, supporting emerging funds, and enabling secondary liquidity in a volatile sector.[1]
Hutt Capital was founded in 2018 by Brooke Pollack, who serves as Managing Partner.[3][4] Pollack brings over a decade of experience in private fund, secondary, and direct investments; he most recently spent 4+ years at Greenspring Associates (>$17B AUM), leading their blockchain and crypto initiatives with transactions exceeding $750M in capital, and previously worked at Hamilton Lane on private equity secondaries and at CTC Consulting for ultra-high-net-worth clients.[3]
Partner and COO Sandra Familet complements the team with 20+ years across private equity, venture, and asset management, including pivotal roles in BlackRock's early growth (securing $9B in assets pre-IPO), and executive positions at Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs in equity, fixed income, and trading.[3] The firm's evolution has focused on blockchain VC fund-of-funds since inception, with closed funds dated November 2021 and April 2023, alongside one fund in market.[4]
Hutt Capital rides the resurgence of blockchain and crypto post-2022 downturns, capitalizing on trends like decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, and Web3 infrastructure amid regulatory clarity (e.g., ETF approvals) and institutional adoption.[1][2] Timing aligns with crypto's maturation into a $2T+ asset class, where fund-of-funds models address LP demand for vetted exposure without direct manager selection risks.[3]
Market forces favoring Hutt include rising secondary volumes for liquidity in illiquid crypto assets and global VC consolidation, positioning it to influence the ecosystem by amplifying capital to early-stage blockchain startups via partner funds.[1][4] As a bridge between traditional private markets and crypto, it democratizes access for diversified portfolios.
Hutt Capital is poised to expand amid crypto's next bull cycle, potentially launching larger funds leveraging its closed vehicles' performance and team track record.[4] Trends like AI-blockchain convergence, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and layer-2 scaling will shape its trajectory, with secondaries gaining traction for LP exits.[1][3]
Its influence may evolve toward broader digital asset strategies, solidifying as a go-to platform for blockchain diversification in a maturing ecosystem—echoing its core promise of partnering with leaders to unlock global startup potential.[1]
