Contango Digital Assets

Contango Digital Assets is a Web3-native venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Managing Partners Mike Grantis and Josh Field, based in Canada. On a mission to accelerate the global movement toward decentralized AI, the firm believes decentralized AI is key to unlocking human freedom and enabling global peace. Beyond direct investment, the firm operates Contango Labs, building products, communities, platforms, and services for a decentralized world, and Contango Search, a recruiting arm connecting Web3 projects with developers, designers, and engineering talent. Contango has invested in and advised over 100 AI and Web3 projects, with its ecosystem of focus centered on Bittensor, though it invests across the broader decentralized AI landscape. Its debut Contango Blockchain x AI Fund is a $10 million seed vehicle investing specifically at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence, with reported check sizes ranging from $100K to $5M. The firm's investment approach emphasizes hands-on, high-touch partnership, providing frequent check-ins, talent introductions, and community-building support alongside capital, positioning itself as a long-term collaborator in each portfolio company's growth rather than a purely transactional investor.
