It will be a firm dedicated to the most revolutionary founders and a platform focused on supporting the most promising global start-ups with early venture to growth stage capital.
The firm draws its name from the Italian word for mongoose, symbolizing its approach to investing – swift, precise, and unrelenting in the pursuit of extraordinary opportunities. The firm was co-founded by Tommaso Chiabra from the Principality of Monaco, an investor in notable companies such as the sustainable food pioneer Neat and Royal Yacht International, and Kevin Jiang from Silicon Valley, a tenured investor with wide-ranging experience from Goldman Sachs to Apollo Global Management, and most recently a founding member of the Investment Team at Softbank’s Vision Fund.

This new fund has attracted institutional allocators, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals since fundraising started in the second quarter of this year. Given the additional interest from institutional investors, Galaxy expects to continue fundraising into next year and reach, if not exceed, the fund’s $150 million target.
The fund will expand upon Galaxy Ventures’ time-tested thesis: Investing in companies that engineer digital asset innovation and enable financial institutions, start-ups, and markets to participate in the onchain future. The team’s goal is to build a portfolio of approximately 30 investments in the most promising digital asset companies.
The new fund will be led by Galaxy Ventures General Partners Will Nuelle and Mike Giampapa.
