Ego Death Capital Raises $100M to Back Bitcoin-Native Startups

Ego Death Capital has closed its second investment fund at $100 million, doubling down on its strategy of scaling companies that build directly on Bitcoin’s core infrastructure.

The fund is sharply focused on software startups that are growing steadily but need capital to break through to the next stage.

Targeting firms with $1–3 million in annual revenue, Ego Death is positioning itself as a lead Series A investor in a space where that role is often unfilled. A portion of the new fund is also reserved for high-potential seed-stage opportunities.

Founding partner Nico Lechuga told Axios that unlike most crypto-focused funds, Ego Death isn’t chasing token projects or hardware plays. “We’re in Bitcoin, investing in real companies solving real problems,” he said.

Their early bets include Roxom, a Bitcoin-native exchange platform; Relai, a savings app; and Breez, which builds payments infrastructure on the Lightning Network. Notably, many of these firms generate cash flow in BTC itself—offering investors exposure to revenue streams tied directly to the currency.

The fund’s backers are largely family offices already aligned with Bitcoin, eager to help grow an ecosystem around the asset rather than speculate on altcoins. For Ego Death, the path forward is clear: Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value—it’s a foundation for building profitable, decentralized businesses.
