Alex Marinier started his career on Blackstone's private equity secondaries team, where he studied venture portfolios before moving into venture capital himself, and after building conviction in crypto in 2016, he wrote and presented a 60-slide deck to DCM's global partnership that helped him win a mandate to source blockchain deals. He now focuses at New Form Capital on the overlap between blockchain and capital markets, particularly DeFi, infrastructure, and real-world assets, with early investments including Polymarket, Chaos Labs, and Compound.
About their Fund
New Form Capital is a seed fund focused specifically on the overlap of blockchain, financial markets, and data, raising money from macro hedge funds, private equity professionals, and bankers who want informed exposure to crypto, and treating regulatory analysis—working with outside counsel to check whether what they back is legal now and likely to stay legal—as a core part of how they evaluate investments. The firm has also been an early and consistent voice on real-world assets, aiming to put traditional financial assets on the blockchain so they can trade globally and around the clock, and it has expanded beyond venture investing into a liquid fund that gives institutional investors access to multiple crypto strategies, including market-neutral options.
