Fabric Ventures is a London-headquartered venture capital firm investing in crypto, web3, and decentralized-network startups, with roots in Firestartr, a seed fund co-founded by Richard Muirhead, Anil Hansjee and Alain Falys in 2012. Operating under the Fabric brand since 2016, the firm has raised at least $245 million across two 2022-vintage funds plus a subsequent Growth Fund, backing well-known names including Polkadot, NEAR, 1inch, Ledger, Coinbase, Sorare, Immutable and Sky Mavis. No allegations of wrongdoing, regulatory action, or litigation against the firm itself were found; the most notable diligence-relevant fact is that portfolio company Sky Mavis (maker of Axie Infinity) suffered the $625 million Ronin Bridge hack in 2022, and several senior figures now carry "Emeritus" titles or have left the visible team page, a pattern this report documents without asserting a cause.
