Investment thesis

TVP invests in Bitcoin-native founders and startups building at the emergence of what it describes as a new monetary order. The firm draws on deep, long-standing experience with Bitcoin (dating back to 2009) to identify and partner with transformational technology companies in their earliest stages, particularly those developing on the Bitcoin and Lightning Networks. It positions itself as an early supporter and champion of founders, emphasizing a people-and-ideas-first approach and a shared vision with founders and investors for a new economic paradigm.
