What we offer

Too often VCs only touch on the surface of the project: who is your lead? Does the market favour similar projects at the time? Did you add “AI” to your value proposition as soon as the trends changed? They promise to not only bring money to the table and then disappear into thin air.

We’re striving to be the opposite of that and support talented builders on a deeper level: if you’re a talented technical founder, we will help you figure out your GTM and match you with marketing advisors. If you are building and growing your user base quickly, but need to be mindful of regulations, we are going to connect you with legal support.

We do not just invest as a lead — we also introduce you to our network of funds and angels to get you oversubscribed.

TradFi expertise meets DeFi

Before moving into the crypto space in early 2017, our founder has valued assets at a $60bn+ investment management firm as well as consulted 16+ central and commercial banks at Oliver Wyman.

Our team is experienced in valuation of different asset classes and structuring of very complex deals. We have connected exchanges (eg. Binance) with institutional clients as well as formed a network of hedge funds that manage more than $200 billion dollars daily.

Our expertise allows us to attract Web2 capital, find synergies with TradFi firms for our portfolio companies and assess the projects on a deeper level. Oversubscribed’s scoring model is verified by contributors from Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan.

Criteria for startups

We do not disclose our full scoring model, but here are some of the necessary criteria:

DeFi, CeFi or Infrastructure. If your project is in a different vertical, you can still apply, but we are likely to redirect you to a friendly fund

Signals of potential product-market fit (users, first revenue) or team’s ability to achieve it (successful previous exits or other achievements)

Pre-seed or seed stages

Our value proposition

Strong institutional background

Our management team has a combination of TradFi and DeFi experience that allows us to find synergies with leading financial institutions. Moreover, our acceleration program is supported by top-managers from Roland Berger, Morgan Stanley, EY, J.P. Morgan and we are able to attract their expertise as well

No delays in decision-making

We know how difficult it is to not have any clarity about the VCs processes: so we will revert to you within a week of receiving your application and reach our decision in a month

Vast network of partners to help you scale

Oversubscribed partners with a network of 100+ market-makers, launchpads, legal firms, DEXs/CEXs, marketing agencies and can help you scale on best terms

Help with closing the rest of your round
