About

Before founding Lyrik, Rune invested at ConsenSys Ventures — the venture arm of ConsenSys, founded by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin — where he co-founded the Tachyon accelerator and backed early infrastructure including Kaiko and WalletConnect. He came to the space from Google, where he spent nearly nine years in commercial enterprise roles across Cloud, Maps, Android and Chrome. That investor-and-operator combination is how Lyrik underwrites at the intersection: the architecture and the business model, read in the same room.
