If you want Lattice Capital funding, you are approaching a firm with a deliberately simple thesis: open markets beat closed ones. Lattice Capital invests in infrastructure, networks and applications that expand access to money, markets and other resources, and it backs non-consensus companies globally at their earliest stages. This profile sets out how to get funding from Lattice Capital, its cheque sizes, and the portfolio that shows what open-markets investing means in practice.
Investment thesis
Lattice states its thesis plainly: open markets beat closed ones, open-source software compounds faster than private networks, and money should move as quickly as information. That leads it towards crypto infrastructure, onchain markets, payments, data and applications that widen access, rather than towards closed, permissioned products. It describes itself as a high-conviction investor that makes fast, independent decisions and aims to be a founder's first call.
Sectors, stages and cheque size
Lattice invests from pre-seed to Series A. Its current site states that it writes $250,000 to $1 million cheques. Its history shows the range evolving with fund size: its first fund was $20 million, raised in 2021, and its second fund, Lattice Capital II, was $60 million, raised in 2022, with planned cheques then of $500,000 to $1.5 million across 40 to 50 companies. Founders should confirm the current range in conversation, since published figures reflect different fund vintages.
Notable portfolio
The firm's published portfolio includes LI.FI, whose crypto trading infrastructure is used by major trading venues, RedStone, an institutional blockchain data provider, Midas, an institutional-grade infrastructure provider for onchain assets, GoldSky, Grass, Daylight, Daya, Hyperliquid, Pump.Fun and Infinia. Privy, the embedded-wallet company, was acquired by Stripe in 2025. Earlier investments also include Immunefi and Optic.
Partners and team
Lattice was co-founded by general partners Regan Bozman and Mike Zajko. Bozman was an early employee at CoinList, the token-launch platform, and Zajko has worked in sales and partnerships at CoinList. That background in primary issuance, token launches and onchain markets is central to the firm's pitch: it can advise portfolio companies on go-to-market and on launching a token, not only on raising equity.
Programmes run
Lattice does not advertise a conventional accelerator programme with cohorts, published dates and a standard application form. Its support model is direct partnership: hands-on help with go-to-market strategy, token-launch planning and network introductions from a small, focused team. Founders should not expect a programme application page; the route in is a direct investment conversation.
How to apply for funding from Lattice Capital
The firm's site, lattice.fund, invites builders with the prompt 'Building something new?' and provides a contact route there. There is no published application form or deadline cycle. A strong approach is a concise note explaining how the product expands access to money or markets, what is already built, and why an open, onchain model beats a closed alternative, plus a clear statement of stage and round size.
Why it matters for founders
Lattice is a strong fit for pre-seed to Series A crypto founders building open infrastructure, markets or payments rails. Lead with the open-markets logic and working product — the firm explicitly backs non-consensus ideas, but it still expects early evidence, not just a thesis.
