1confirmation fund
Overview
1confirmation is an early-stage crypto venture firm founded by Nick Tomaino, investing in blockchain and open network projects with a particular emphasis on consumer applications at the intersection of crypto and culture. Its stated thesis is captured by the tagline on its site: open networks are empowering the masses. The firm publishes regularly through its own site, and a January 2026 piece described Tomaino as 'the investor who backed Polymarket before the crowd', reflecting the firm's reputation for conviction bets on consumer crypto products ahead of consensus. 1confirmation's public web presence is deliberately minimal and does not disclose its founding year, fund sizes or a comprehensive portfolio list, so those details are not recorded here. 1confirmation was founded by Nick Tomaino as an early-stage crypto fund and is publicly associated with backing Polymarket before it became widely known.
