We’re beyond excited to announce the promotion of Theo Fields to General Partner. Theo joined the Bloccelerate team three years ago as an investment associate intern while completing his MBA at MIT Sloan. Less than 12 months later, Theo was promoted to Investor and now to General Partner. During that tenure, Theo has been an outsized contributor across all aspects of our business, from sourcing companies to publishing quarterly reports, and everything in between. Founders, co-investors, and partners have offered unprompted praise for Theo’s work ethic, relationship-oriented interpersonal style, and ability to generate impact. Most importantly, Theo has been a versatile, collaborative team player, making meaningful impact across many domains. While supporting the firm cross functionally, Theo also led many deals for our second fund, contributing to our all-time high thirteen investments made in 2024. Theo has demonstrated a rare mix of formal background (EY Consulting, Product Management, and an MBA from a top-tier institution) with crypto-nativeness. This mix of perspectives has helped him understand crypto-native painpoints and products balanced with long-term value and business potential. We are excited to see Theo’s scope and responsibilities continue to grow. Bloccelerate’s long term success depends on our ability to identify, support, and develop talented individuals and Theo is a case study in just that. We look forward to seeing him thrive in this new role.
I am beyond excited to announce the promotion of Theo Fields to General Partner at Bloccelerate VC!!! Finding exceptional talent is one of the hardest jobs of any firm, and we sure struck gold when we found Theo while he was still finishing his MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management in early 2022. Prior to that, Theo Fields led product development at EY helping Microsoft build the first its kind XBox blockchain IP & royalty platform for 100+ million users. In the short three years, Theo has been with Bloccelerate, he has grown from an Investment Associate Intern, to an Investing Partner, to now a General Partner - role he 100% earned with his hard work and dedication. He led more than 14 deals including investments in LI.FI, Hydrogen Labs, SatLayer, and others. What makes Theo special ? #1. Theo is a team player. He puts the team goals and priorities first. This is an exceptionally rare quality in young, smart, ambitious individuals, and Theo 100% has it. #2. Theo is one of the most intellectually curious people you will ever meet. He has the right balance of vulnerability to admit he doesn’t know something, but also the curiosity to learn, which is very hard to find. It makes him exceptionally good at this job! #3. Founders LOVE Theo. We often joke that if we need to win a founder over, we need to let him/her talk to Theo because he is the most “likable” person one will ever meet. This “likability” is not surface level - he listens to founder?needs and always adds value. Here is an example of what one of the founders, Richard Ma, CEO & Founder at Quantstamp, Inc. said about Theo: “Theo is one of the most hardworking and astute analytical minds in the web3 venture space. His promotion to GP will contribute to a bright future for Bloccelerate VC. Onwards and upwards!" Please join me in congratulating Theo Fields on this well-deserved promotion!!! ??
