Dubai-based Cequire Capital plans to deploy $100 million over three years into early-stage web3 companies and liquid digital assets, using its own capital rather than externally raised funds, the private investment manager said.
The allocation spans five areas: stablecoins and stablechains, AI and autonomous-agent payments, tokenized real-world assets, privacy technology, and post-quantum security.
Allocation and investment focus
Cequire intends to direct 60% of the capital to venture investments, 30% to liquid assets, and 10% to co-investments. It plans to lead or co-lead pre-seed and seed rounds with checks of $500,000 to $2 million.
The firm said the first $50 million is ready for deployment and that it expects to complete the allocation by the end of the next quarter.
Proprietary capital and track record
Established in 2024, Cequire describes itself as a private investment management firm that has worked with family offices across the Gulf and Southeast Asia. Its client services include liquid crypto investments, OTC transactions, and token structuring.
Managing Partner Salman Parcy said proprietary capital lets Cequire invest without relying on fundraising cycles or external limited partners. The firm has invested more than $50 million across more than 20 web3 projects, including Wyscale and TX24.
Parcy said opportunities can be strongest when the market is less crowded, arguing that abundant capital raises valuations and competition for deals. He said a quieter market gives Cequire more room to be selective and work directly with founders earlier, while the firm’s own-capital model supports a longer-term approach without pressure to deploy according to fundraising schedules.
