About
Avichal Garg brings an unusual operator background to crypto investing as a former Facebook and Google product leader and repeat founder who sold his company Spool to Facebook, and he explicitly frames his approach as "founder-to-founder" investing rather than traditional finance-led VC. He's known for his public thesis that crypto will "re-centralize" talent back into Silicon Valley hubs rather than fully decentralizing startup geography, and he leads Electric Capital as an "engineer- and builder-led firm" that measures protocol health through developer activity and on-chain data rather than relying on traditional investment analysts.
