BlockWest Capital is run by operators who have spent more than a decade covering, building and investing in this industry. We invest the way we would want to be backed.
Ashton founded BlockWest Media and has hosted Crypto Coin Show since 2014, recording more than 1,500 long-form interviews with the founders, investors and operators building blockchain and AI. Those interviews are syndicated to institutional audiences through Refinitiv / LSEG Newscasts.
BlockWest Capital grew out of that network. Ashton backs and advises early-stage teams across onchain infrastructure, onchain finance and decentralized AI, and pairs that capital with launch coverage and distribution across BlockWest and Crypto Coin Show.
