Morningstar Ventures: Who Are We?

Morningstar Ventures was established in early 2020 by Danilo S. Carlucci, who has been deeply involved in the blockchain space for several years. Beyond investing, Danilo found a passion for building innovative products, helping teams scale, and driving blockchain adoption in regions close to his heart, particularly the UAE, Russia, and Switzerland.

With experience as an investor, advisor, and marketer for numerous blockchain projects, launching Morningstar Ventures was a natural progression for Danilo. The firm was founded with a vision that goes beyond traditional investment. Besides actively deploying capital and supporting early-stage teams, the company spends a lot of time building — it operates a handful of in-house blockchain projects. It has a full-time count of 20+ people behind the scenes. The core focus is Digital Assets and Blockchain on the investment side, but it has already backed several teams outside of this scope not announced publicly. At Morningstar Ventures, we are proud of our diverse portfolio, and you can find a number of our investments here: Portfolio

Importantly, Morningstar Ventures has always been privately funded and has no intention of raising external capital. This approach gives the firm the flexibility to fully support the growth and vision of its chosen projects at any stage. When the opportunity arises, we aim to make follow-on investments to strengthen our conviction bets.
