The firm favors technical founders and relies on peer diligence among its network of builders, aiming to compound experience across a founder-to-founder network. It invests along long-term adoption curves rather than short market cycles, with roots in Polkadot and extending to Bitcoin, TON, AI and DePIN. Focus areas include Web3 infrastructure, DeFi, identity, intent layers and AI, supporting ecosystems where real builders can create durable network effects and drive mass adoption.
