Profile
We focus on crypto and related technologies at the frontier. We invest in, build, and contribute to companies and protocols with as little as $1M and as much as $100M+. We often get involved at the earliest stages and continue to support our portfolio companies over time.
We take a deeply hands-on approach to help projects reach their full potential, from the technical (mechanism design, security, engineering) to the operational (recruiting, go-to-market, legal and regulatory strategy).
