Founding Circle™
Become Part of the Foundation of Digital Sovereignty.
Cold Crypt is building a new category of digital asset protection: a consumer-first platform that combines intelligent software, dedicated hardware, recoverability, and true self-custody.
The Founding Circle™ is a private opportunity to help complete and validate the Cold Crypt Vault™ MVP before the company’s planned $12 million Series A.
Eight reasons Cold Crypt is positioned to redefine digital ownership.
Cold Crypt is designed as a platform business, not simply a hardware product. Its architecture, services, recovery model, and consumer experience create multiple paths to recurring revenue and long-term strategic value.
Trade and connect in Hot Mode, then move into true air-gapped Cold Mode for secure offline signing.
Designed to reduce the risk of permanent asset loss while preserving user sovereignty.
Human-readable transaction intelligence, risk explanations, and scam-detection support.
A consumer-first device designed to make advanced security feel clear, intuitive, and trustworthy.
Hardware, subscriptions, security services, enterprise opportunities, and future platform revenue.
A broader vision for protecting digital assets, identity, ownership, and access.
Executive expertise across technology, product, finance, legal, operations, and marketing.
A defined path from MVP completion and validation to Series A, manufacturing, and launch.
The foundation is built. The MVP is underway.
Cold Crypt has moved beyond the concept stage. The current round is designed to complete development, validate the product, reduce execution risk, and prepare the company for institutional financing.

$12 Million
Following MVP completion, validation, security assessment, and investor demonstrations, Cold Crypt plans to pursue institutional financing to support:
Tooling, production setup, supply chain, and quality systems.
Regulatory, EMC, safety, and product-readiness requirements.
Commercial units, packaging, fulfillment, and launch readiness.
Team expansion, sales, marketing, and commercial launch.
A fundamentally different consumer security proposition.
Cold Crypt combines features that are typically fragmented across hardware wallets, software wallets, security tools, and recovery services.
