About

A research-driven global investment firm since 2018

Investment approach

Thesis
Roughly 35% of the US labor market is trust-enabling work: auditors, escrow agents, intermediaries, paperwork. Blockchain reduces the cost of establishing that trust toward zero. Cost of Trust 2.0 is the framework we use to invest where that reduction is durable.Source (opens in a new tab)

Investing status notes
The record shows conviction, not just duration: capital deployed in 2018, distributions to investors through the 2022 cycle, and writing first checks through every drawdown since.
