Venture Capital in Bitcoin: Investments in Bitcoin companies

The first wave of Bitcoin investment was about buying the coin. The next wave is about building the rails, and the VCs are now placing their bets.

Join us for this post-Mobile World Congress mixer to talk VC funding in Bitcoin and get the inside scoop on where the smart money is deploying. With institutional demand surging post-ETF, we sit down with Dr. Khushboo Kullar, a VC investor actively backing Bitcoin startups with Lightning Ventures. From advanced custody solutions and on-chain vaults (the so-called “ETFs 2.0”) to the scaling tools bridging Bitcoin with traditional finance, she’s seeing the trends before they hit mainstream attention.

From her unique vantage point, Dr. Kullar will break down:

✔️ The Hot Sectors: Which Bitcoin infrastructure projects are drawing the most capital right now. ✔️ The Funding Shift: Why early-stage deals have slowed, but later-stage quality bets are rising. ✔️ The 2026 Outlook: How regulatory clarity is shaping the next wave of venture funding.

Whether you’re a Bitcoiner, a founder looking for funding, or an investor tracking the trends, come relax, connect, and hear directly from someone writing the checks. Get ahead of the curve and see where the next big opportunities in Bitcoin really are.
