Our team has been working in and around the startup ecosystem for 15+ years. Building, investing and advising startups has helped us to gain a keen sense of what really matters when building a company. We develop empathy to the founder journey that only a startup founders can have.
We look to be early inventors in non-consensus companies/industries, focusing on:
- Invest in Web 3.0 infrastructure, including blockchain/crypto, NFT’s, AR/VR, fintech, and other areas that enable us to build the future of the internet.
- Onchain social, including Farcaster and emerging decentralized social economies, infrastructure, protocols, community coins, and primitives
- Frontier technology, reflecting a 0 -> 1 shift or 10x improvement across industries. We believe being opportunistic and generalists in this area enables us to capitalize on fundamental shifts in industries and technologies. As a result, we are paying close attention to the following:
- The burgeoning space economy
- Climate related technologies and infrastructure
- Robotics and automation
- The current revolution taking place in biology - including biotech, alternative proteins and other deviations of understanding life's code
We source deals through a variety of high quality channels including personal networks, referrals, venture partners, startup databases, social media, co-syndicates, and more.
