Graph Paper Capital — Technology Holding Company
From first sketch to enduring company.
Graph Paper Capital is a technology holding company. We invest in, incubate, and advise companies at the frontier of AI, blockchain, and longevity.
start a conversation →What We Do
One activity, three entry points.
Sometimes we write the first check into someone else's sketch. Sometimes the sketch is ours. Either way, the work is the same: turning first principles into durable technology companies.
invest
When we invest, we make selective direct investments, SPVs, and co-investments — only where we can add more than capital: judgment, distribution, and the right rooms.
incubate
When we incubate, we originate the idea ourselves, build it in-house, and test it in the real world. Current experiment: Real Claw World — reality TV for AI agents. Humans cast their agents into a shared house; the drama is unscripted.
advise
When we advise, we work with founders on capital formation, narrative, distribution, and product judgment — and we open doors into high-trust rooms, including the six to eight Jeffersonian dinners we host each year: curated tables of founders, investors, scientists, and operators around the world.
Current Focus
The technologies that expand what people can know, own, and live to build.
AI & agentic software
intelligence as a force multiplier for every builder.
Blockchain & decentralized infrastructure
ownership and coordination without permission.
Longevity & regenerative health
more healthy time to build what matters.
The First Chapter
We've watched sketches become companies.
Before evolving into a holding company, GPC backed and accelerated early-stage web3 companies through its accelerator and Fund I — now closed and fully deployed — including Transak, Coinshift, Mona, Hedgey, Huddle01, and Bagel.

“Gabriel played a huge role in Transak, both in getting us in the program and in pushing us to be better and more commercial.”
Sami Start · Transak
“Gabriel has been the person who has taught us lessons which we continue to follow at Coinshift.”
Tarun Gupta · Coinshift
“From the seed of an idea to a Series A company, Gabriel was there every step of the way providing helpful feedback, insight, guidance, and inspiration. Any founders would be lucky to have him in their corner.”
Justin Melillo · Mona
“Gabriel is a one-of-a-kind mentor who will go to insane lengths for the founders he backs. In hindsight, the best advice I got when I started Bagel wasn't from him, but it was about him. It was “Do whatever Gabriel says”.”
Bidhan Roy · Bagel

The Owner
Gabriel Anderson
Founder & Managing Partner
Gabriel is a four-time founder, a two-time EIR, and the builder of a digital media business that scaled to 100M uniques and a $10M run rate. As Managing Director of Tachyon, he was first check into 53 startups that collectively raised $110M at $600M in combined valuations.
He founded Graph Paper Capital as an accelerator and fund — Fund I invested in 17 companies — and runs it today as his personal technology holding company, investing off its own balance sheet and through SPVs with trusted business partners. Same builder, longer horizon.
How We Operate
Owner's hands, owner's horizon.
No clock.
We hold like owners, not fund managers. The best ideas don't compound on a fund's schedule.
Founder empathy, earned.
We've been the person at the whiteboard. Operator judgment, not board-seat theater.
Engineering moments of serendipity.
Fifteen minutes with the right person can change the trajectory of a company. We build the rooms where that happens — backed by a network of 131 venture partners, many holding carry alongside GPC.
Capital is one tool.
Useful, never the whole product.
“We don't give founders advice that we don't take ourselves.”
— Gabriel Anderson, Founder
Why Graph Paper
Great companies often begin as a sketch. Graph paper is where engineers, scientists, and founders make the invisible visible — a page, a grid, the first blueprint of something that should exist. Graph Paper Capital exists for that moment, and for everything after it.
