Swarm Fund was inspired by the idea that smart contracts could lead to greater trust, transparency, and access in finance. It initially launched as a membership network dedicated to this purpose in the summer of 2014 and ran a successful $1mm blockchain crowdfunding campaign that was the first of its kind.After launching a “Silicon Valley” style incubator house it also helped develop, fund, and launch several projects, including Bitcoin Comic book, Woodshares (the first dedicated crypto-asset fund), and several other projects that remain in stealth mode.
Additionally, the founders realized many of the barriers to creation on this space were regulatory and worked primarily on governance and organizational design, including speaking at various industry events, including partnerships with Singularity University, Agentic Group, and ExO Works.
After key learnings from these engagements we began implementing the most advanced blockchain governance system developed to date, which integrated concepts of liquid democracy, futarchy, and reputational systems.

- Concept: It makes traditionally exclusive investment opportunities, such as private equity and hedge funds, inclusive for the Swarm by pooling together smaller investments into larger, institutional-sized blocks. Swarm Fund also gives fund managers access to more capital from a new asset class of investors who want access to institutional-type investments, but don’t have the high minimums many institutional funds require. Pilot investment vehicles on the Swarm Fund platform include a Distressed Real Estate Fund, a Solar Energy Fund, and a Crypto Hedge Fund.
