Chaos Ventures is an early-stage investment firm founded in 2020, headquartered in Harju, Estonia, with a major presence in New York City. The firm was co-founded by Justin, a licensed CPA with experience leading more than 150 venture deals and a background in finance and audit at firms such as Jefferies and Ernst & Young. Its members include technology entrepreneurs, industry executives, professional athletes and crypto specialists who support founders by sharing practical experience and a wide network. Its motto suggests that chaos forms the basis of reality, reflecting a belief in embracing unpredictability to spark new ideas.
Since inception, Chaos Ventures has deployed capital in more than forty companies across financial services, healthcare and consumer sectors. It prefers seed and pre-seed startups that adopt blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality or quantum computing to improve communication, transactions and user experiences. The firm emphasizes data-informed decision making, hands-on guidance in go-to-market plans and partnerships that can open distribution channels. Portfolio companies range from police records software to fintech platforms, including Mark43’s Series F, Humanly.io, Klarna and Dapper Labs.
A notable area of interest is clean energy and battery technology. Chaos Ventures participated in a $16 million early stage round for Sicona Battery Technologies, which develops nanostructured battery components, and supports companies creating solutions for energy storage and grid resilience. This focus aligns with broader trends toward carbon neutral power and efficient energy systems, and positions the firm to back innovations that can meet rising demand for sustainable solutions.
