Investment thesis
The firm believes global commerce is undergoing fundamental rearchitecture across money, payments, banking, capital markets, and identity. Rather than solely backing crypto-native companies, Haun targets visionaries leveraging decentralized technology as an infrastructure layer to build the next generation of fintech, AI, and consumer platforms. As the market moves beyond early stages into global integration and AI scales, mainstream institutional reach becomes critical for adoption. The firm operates as a lean team of founders, policy experts, and builders, providing high-conviction capital and operational support to selected founders.
