What Bloccelerate is
Bloccelerate VC is a venture capital firm based in Seattle (United States), founded by Kate Mitselmakher — today Kate (Mitselmakher) Laurence — with a model that combines a fund and an accelerator: as well as capital, it makes available to startups a network of mentors, operators and technologists. It invests in early-stage blockchain and Web3 companies, from infrastructure to applications. In September 2022 it closed its 20 million dollar Fund II and has continued operating in the following years: 2 investments are recorded in 2025 and at least 1 in 2026 (among the most recent, Interstate as a first investment and a follow-on in Cloudburst), as well as initiatives such as the BCVC Summit.

Regulation and licences
It is neither an exchange nor a crypto service provider for the public: it is a US venture capital fund, so MiCA-CASP status does not apply. It does not offer services to EU retail users.
Security
Not applicable in the classic sense (custody of client funds): Bloccelerate does not manage retail user assets. There are no incidents or public proceedings against the firm. (Verified: September 2026)
