Quick profile
Investment thesis
I back the next generation of crypto-native companies that go from 0 to 1 — protocols, infrastructure, and consumer apps that need a 10-year horizon.
Communication style
Direct, founder-first, optimistic about the space, sharp on token design.
Red flags
Founders who treat crypto as a marketing layer rather than a core primitive
No defensibility beyond a single feature
