The firm backs value-driven founders who obsessively solve fundamental problems, offering hands-on support without shying away from operational detail. Though global in scope, it maintains European values and commits to institutional-grade investing that adheres to industry standards, with an emphasis on making the digital asset ecosystem more sustainable.
