Investment thesis

Octu Ventures is a member-driven venture DAO focused on backing teams building on Urbit, a decentralized peer-to-peer network of personal server virtual machines with cryptographically provable identity. The firm believes Urbit can become a foundational protocol comparable to Linux, TCP/IP, or Ethereum, well suited to demands for damage-resistant networking, self-owned identity, and provable computation. Drawing on a long history in the Urbit ecosystem and relationships with key builders and community leaders, Octu aims to analyze Urbit's position in the technological, financial, and geopolitical landscape and help Urbit infrastructure companies scale significantly.
