cyber Fund is a crypto-native venture fund registered in the Cayman Islands, focused on early-stage investments across blockchain infrastructure, decentralized protocols, and open-source crypto ecosystems. The fund operates at the intersection of venture capital and on-chain participation, often taking positions in both equity and native tokens of the projects it backs. Public information about the fund's total AUM and exact founding year is limited, though the fund's activity traces back to the early-to-mid 2010s, placing it among the earlier dedicated crypto venture vehicles.
cyber Fund is closely associated with cyber~Congress, a decentralized autonomous organization that developed the cyber protocol – a blockchain-based knowledge graph and search engine built on the Cosmos SDK. This dual structure, combining a traditional fund vehicle with DAO-based governance, reflects the fund's philosophical alignment with decentralization. The Cayman Islands domicile is standard for crypto funds seeking regulatory neutrality and flexibility for token-based investment structures.
Notable Investments
Specific portfolio names disclosed publicly are limited. Based on available information, cyber Fund has backed projects spanning layer-1 infrastructure, Cosmos ecosystem participants, and decentralized tooling. The fund reports 13 portfolio companies and 15 lead investments according to aggregated data sources, suggesting an active lead role rather than passive participation. Public information about individual deal sizes and specific portfolio companies beyond the cyber protocol itself is not reliably disclosed.
Team
The fund's most prominent public figure is Dima Starodubcev (also known online as xhipster), a long-standing figure in the Russian-speaking crypto community and a co-founder of the cyber~Congress DAO. Starodubcev was an early Ethereum community contributor and has written extensively on decentralized search and knowledge protocols. Public information about other named managing partners or investment professionals at the fund is limited.
Recent Activity
Detailed records of cyber Fund's investment activity in 2025–2026 are not widely reported in public sources. The fund maintains a presence through the cyber~Congress DAO's open governance and the ongoing development of the Bostrom and Pussy networks, which are live implementations of the cyber protocol on Cosmos. The fund's retail ROI figure of 0.95 indicates performance near break-even on publicly traceable positions, which is consistent with the broader crypto venture downturn seen across 2022–2024.
cyber Fund occupies a niche position in the venture landscape: it combines traditional fund mechanics with a genuine on-chain philosophical commitment. Its geographic focus appears global, with particular attention to open-source developer communities. For teams building decentralized knowledge infrastructure or Cosmos-adjacent protocols, cyber Fund represents a strategically aligned, if relatively small-scale, backer. Investors seeking more transparency on AUM or portfolio specifics should consult the fund's on-chain activity or reach out directly, as public filings are sparse.
