Matt Zhang@zhang_matt · 2026/08/25赛道影响Today we’re announcing that Hivemind Digital Group, the parent company of @HivemindCap, has completed a $17M strategic funding round led by M&G Investments, with participation from various global institutional investors. We welcome Alex Seddon, Head of Impact and Private Equity at M&G, who joins our Board of Directors. Full details in the announcement below.
Nearly five years ago, we founded Hivemind on three bold convictions:
→ Blockchain is a transformative technology.
→ Digital assets would become a mainstream institutional asset class.
→ Tokenization would change how all financial assets are accessed, structured and managed.
Not everyone agreed at the time. Today, that debate is largely behind us — the thesis we were once questioned for has become industry consensus, and the world has moved on from asking whether to asking how fast. Having M&G - a global institution that has set the standard in asset management for nearly two centuries - lead our round is a meaningful recognition of what we’ve believed in, what we have built, and how we’ve built it.
More than anything, I feel grateful. The entrepreneurial journey to launch and scale an asset management business from the ground up has been an always eventful, sometimes humbling but after all extremely rewarding experience. I am super proud to be working with such a team of ultra resilient and talented colleagues who have kept building through the market cycles, as well as our partners, investors and board members who backed us with unwavering confidence and conviction, through and through.
Yet, I believe the best part of Hivemind’s story is still ahead of us. What happened to blockchain and digital assets over the past five years is now emerging across other frontier tech verticals — intelligence market and AI first among them. The grand financialization of frontier technology has finally arrived: new technology-inspired asset classes are forming, which will in turn require innovative financial infrastructure and primitives. That’s the chapter Hivemind will be excited to write next.

Matt Zhang@zhang_matt · 2026/06/09政策影响Thrilled to finally announce this first-of-its-kind partnership between @HivemindCap and @UCBerkeley, to propel blockchain and AI research out of academic labs and into real-world applications!
As Chancellor Rich Lyons put it best: “UC Berkeley has always been where foundational research becomes transformative technology. Hivemind understands the role research plays in driving innovation forward, and this is exactly the kind of partnership universities need right now: patient, research-first capital that keeps our researchers in control of their work.”
This multi-year long-term partnership was created to address several structural shifts happening in the market right now at the same time: rapid decline federal research support in colleges; lack of infrastructure to support generational talents to commercialize their startups directly from research thesis; and the inability for venture capital businesses to structurally differentiate and source early-stage frontier-tech primitives systematically. This program meant to address them all at once.
The program will initially support projects across high-impact areas of AI and blockchain, including cryptography and decentralized systems, AI infrastructure, agentic systems, cybersecurity, and compute optimization.
Almost 18 months+ in the making, we thank for Rich and all UC Berkeley colleagues for their deep trust and collaboration. We are also thrilled to welcome Google Cloud, Gunderson Dettmer and Goodwin Procter to join the project as founding members. We look forward to expanding the program over time to more members and building our upcoming venture fund II from this cornerstone!
