Inside Supermoon Ventures: From Community to Capital

Hosted by Genzio Media during Token2049 Dubai, Robert Le (Supermoon Ventures) sat down to share the firm’s investment approach and how Supermoon’s global network has evolved into an early-stage fund supporting founders building on blockchain rails.

Originally started as a community for Web3 founders and investors, Supermoon now supports over 30,000 founders through curated events, private investor access, and go-to-market support. “We’re a community of investors, founders, and builders that come together to exchange ideas and collaborate,” said Robert.

Supermoon Ventures, the investment arm launched last year, was born out of this ecosystem. Rather than focusing on infrastructure, the fund targets startups building applications for end users—whether retail, business, or enterprise. “There’s already significant capital flowing into infra,” Robert noted. “We focus where we can add value—distribution, PR, go-to-market. That’s where we support our founders.”

This user-centric lens has shaped Supermoon’s core thesis: support products that abstract away the complexity of crypto while maintaining the advantages of blockchain technology. Robert referenced a recent investment in Lantern. Lantern helps users borrow and lend crypto without the usual headache. “If it feels like fintech but runs on crypto rails, that’s exactly where we want to be.”

Supermoon Ventures also distinguishes itself through its long-term view. “When we say long-term, we mean 10 years—not just a crypto cycle,” Robert said. “We ask ourselves: could this founder and this company still be around a decade from now?”

While Supermoon is often seen at global events, its core team is based in New York. “We’re not headquartered in Dubai, even though we’re very active here,” Robert clarified. “We show up where our founders are, and where investors are having meaningful conversations.”

For founders considering global events, Robert offered a measured take. “If you’re early-stage with a team of two, heads down building is probably the priority. But if you’ve launched, have traction, and need to raise or grow—these events matter. Face time matters.”
