RockawayX raises $125 million to support early stage Web3 startups from Prague with a focus on Solana DeFi and blockchain infrastructure

While many venture firms are slowing down, RockawayX is doing the opposite—stepping on the gas.

Based in Prague, Czech Republic, this blockchain-focused VC just closed a massive $125 million early-stage fund with one goal in mind: to help promising Web3 projects grow faster and smarter.

And with their track record, they’re not just throwing cash—they’re rolling up their sleeves, too.

How They’re Putting the Money to Work

This isn’t your typical passive investment approach. RockawayX plans to deploy the new fund across three key areas:

  • The Solana ecosystem, where they’ve been early believers since 2018 and have already backed over 15 projects.

  • DeFi projects, especially ones that need real-time on-chain liquidity support.

  • New blockchain networks, especially those that tap into RockawayX’s own custom native hardware infrastructure.

This combo of capital and hands-on support is designed to give their portfolio companies the edge needed to launch faster and scale stronger.

More Than Just a Checkbook

Once RockawayX invests, the real work begins.

The firm gets actively involved in:

  • Running validator networks

  • Auditing smart contracts for safety

  • Supplying on-chain liquidity

  • Helping build and grow engineering teams

  • Creating strong, engaged Web3 communities

They don’t just back the builders—they build alongside them.

Meet the Brains Behind the Capital

The firm is led by Viktor Fischer, Managing Partner and CEO, and Samantha Bohbot, Chief Growth Officer and Investor. Under their leadership, RockawayX has delivered impressive returns.

Their VCI fund from 2021 returned cash to investors and is showing some strong numbers:

  • 2.1x DPI (Distributed to Paid-In)

  • 5.4x MOIC (Multiple on Invested Capital)

They’ve had early hits with standout names like Solana, Wintermute, and Morpho Labs—proving they know how to spot and support winners.

What’s Next for RockawayX?

With this new fund ready to go, RockawayX looks set to double down on their mission: backing bold Web3 builders and helping them go further, faster.

From their home base in Prague to blockchain networks around the world, they’re betting big on the next wave of decentralized innovation—and bringing plenty of experience (and cash) to the table.
