Cypher Capital is a Dubai-based venture capital firm specializing in investments within the blockchain, cryptocurrency, and digital asset sectors. Founded by Bijan Alizadeh, an experienced investor with a history of over 60 projects, the firm launched a $100 million seed fund aimed at supporting innovative projects in decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, and the Metaverse. The firm emphasizes a hands-on approach, providing not only financial backing but also mentorship and resources to its portfolio companies. In line with this commitment, Cypher Capital established a 10,000 square foot hub in Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai, designed to foster collaboration among crypto and blockchain startups. This hub offers a workspace where entrepreneurs can pitch ideas to potential investors and receive guidance on various aspects of their business development. Cypher Capital's strategic focus includes investments in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia regions, with plans to expand its assets under management to $1 billion within three years. The firm has already made significant investments, such as a $1.5 million stake in Crypto Oasis Sentio, demonstrating its dedication to building a robust blockchain ecosystem through collaboration with other venture capital partners.
