Confidence in the Fourth Layer of the Internet.
4.Ventures is a narrative driven venture capital and venture studio, backing the builders of the first digital civilization, and the fourth layer of the internet.
We support founders, protocols, and creators building at the intersection of symbolic infrastructure, Web4 systems, and network state coordination.
What Is the Fourth Layer?
The Internet Today Has Three Layers. We’re Building the Fourth.
The modern web was built on infrastructure, protocols, and applications. But its soul, its meaning, its myths, its culture, remains fragmented.
The Fourth Layer is symbolic. It’s where:
Wallets become identities
Protocols become playable
Communities become civilizations
Lore becomes a layer of infrastructure
This is the Culture Stack.
The Meaning Machine.
The MythOS.
Ritual OS.
4.Ventures is where it gets built.
What We Do
We Incubate, Accelerate, and Invest in Internet Myth-Makers.
Venture Studio
We partner with founders to co-create new primitives. Symbolic UX, Lore-native Products, Cultural OS Layers, Scroll-based Onboarding, House Identity Systems, XP Engines & Progression
Capital
We fund founders who see networks as living organisms. Pre-seed to Series A. Myth-aligned only.
Culture Engineering
We shape memes, rituals, media, and symbolic brand architecture. From launch scrolls to myth-mapped user journeys.
Why Now?
The Internet is Becoming a Digital Civilization.
We don’t log on—we enter.
We don’t click—we initiate.
We don’t build products—we forge relics.
The world is craving belonging, story, and sovereignty.
The Fourth Layer is where digital life has meaning.
And it’s just beginning.
