Chain Reaction has played a defining role in Web3 Enabler’s early success. As a blockchain-focused angel group, Chain Reaction recognized our potential early and made a direct investment to help bring our vision for blockchain-powered CRM payments to life. Their commitment goes beyond capital—they’ve taken both a board seat and a board observer seat, ensuring our growth is guided by hands-on support and strategic oversight.
“Hi. I’m Alex Hochberger, founder and CEO of Web3 Enabler. We’re incredibly proud to have Chain Reaction as part of our investor base. Their belief in our product, our team, and our market strategy has been clear from the very first conversation. Chain Reaction brings not just funding, but insight, mentorship, and active participation. Having them on our cap table has been a huge asset to our mission.”
A Blockchain-Focused Investor That Understands the Space
Chain Reaction isn’t a generalist fund—they are Web3-native and purpose-built to help startups like ours thrive. Their focus on blockchain infrastructure, digital assets, and decentralized applications makes them an ideal partner for Web3 Enabler. Their investment followed our early traction with Salesforce, Circle, the XRP Ledger Foundation, and Project Catalyst on Cardano, and it reflects a shared belief in enterprise adoption of crypto-native infrastructure.
Chris Marzilli: Trusted Advisor with Deep Salesforce Experience
One of the most impactful additions to our team through Chain Reaction has been Chris Marzilli, who serves as a Board Member, Advisor, and Investor in Web3 Enabler. With over 8.5 years at Salesforce and more than a decade in the broader Salesforce ecosystem, Chris brings unmatched insight into our target market.
“I feel passionately about their team, which has already delivered one of several innovative products aimed at bridging the gap between traditional SaaS providers like Salesforce and Web3 payments. As the integration platform that connects existing Web2 providers to Web3 technology, they are uniquely positioned to drive significant growth in this emerging space.”
Not Just an Investor, a Lead Investor
Fundraising isn’t just about raising capital—it’s about having a lead investor willing to do the work that gives others confidence to follow. Chain Reaction took that lead role in our angel round, handling the due diligence, valuation, and structure necessary to make the round successful. Their leadership helped catalyze broader interest and directly enabled our successful follow-on crowdfunding round through Republic.
Broader Boston Blockchain Community
One of the most valuable aspects of working with Chain Reaction is their deep connectivity across the Boston blockchain ecosystem. As a founder-first investor group, they don’t just provide capital—they build bridges. One of the best examples of this was our introduction to the team at Qubic Labs, which came directly through Chain Reaction. That connection led to our enrollment in the Qubic Labs R&D Innovation Program, where we gained access to technical advisors, peer founders, and a highly collaborative environment built for early-stage Web3 startups.
By facilitating that relationship, Chain Reaction enabled us to plug into a larger, mission-aligned ecosystem committed to pushing enterprise blockchain forward. It’s a great example of how investor relationships can create real operational leverage. Through Chain Reaction, we didn’t just meet Qubic Labs—we joined a broader network that continues to support our mission, expand our thinking, and strengthen our position in the Web3 space.
More Than Capital: Strategic Support for Growth
As part of the Chain Reaction portfolio—now 18 companies strong—Web3 Enabler benefits from a powerful network of founders, advisors, and investors who understand the challenges of building in Web3. We’ve already received strategic guidance and introductions through their team, and we look forward to continued collaboration as we scale our payment products across CRM platforms.
