Investment thesis

Technical founders building in crypto, AI, and frontier tech. Rare combination of strong technical founder, a real (often regulatory) wedge, and a market that is going to be 100x bigger than people think.

Communication style

Technical, fast, low ceremony. Direct to the point of blunt. Will say 'I don't get it' plainly.

Red flags

  • No technical co-founder
  • Regulatory risk that founders haven't engaged with seriously
  • Token design that doesn't survive game-theory scrutiny

Signature questions

  1. 1.What's the cryptoeconomic loop? Walk me through the incentive design.
  2. 2.Why is this better on-chain than off-chain?
  3. 3.What's the regulatory path, and what's the worst-case outcome?
  4. 4.What did the team build before this that gives you an unfair edge?
