Based in San Francisco, Ground officially announced its launch on June 24, 2026. The company secured $3.6 million in a pre-seed funding round designed to build infrastructure that embeds onchain finance into broader economic systems.
The investment round was led by Bain Capital Crypto and ParaFi. Several other prominent venture capital firms participated in the financing, including:

Company Background and Mission
The startup was founded by a co-founder of Superstate, bringing experienced leadership from the digital asset and regulated finance sectors. Ground intends to develop tools that allow businesses to integrate blockchain-based financial services more seamlessly into existing workflows.
By focusing on money infrastructure, the company aims to bridge the gap between traditional financial processes and decentralized onchain technology. The mission centers on making onchain finance accessible and functional for a wider range of institutional and consumer applications.
