1RoundTable Partners
1RoundTable Partners, often referred to as 1RT, is a growth equity and private equity investment firm focused exclusively on the digital asset and blockchain ecosystem. Formed as the next evolution of 10T Holdings, the firm was created to provide institutional investors with disciplined, risk-aware exposure to the foundational infrastructure powering cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 markets. 1RT applies a macro-driven investment framework combined with rigorous underwriting and deep sector expertise to identify long-term winners in the digital asset economy. Rather than speculating on tokens, the firm focuses on what it describes as “picks and shovels” businesses, including the platforms, infrastructure, and service providers that enable the broader ecosystem to function and scale. Backed by experienced institutional leadership and an extensive global network, 1RoundTable Partners supports high-growth companies with both capital and strategic guidance.
