About
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT FIRM IN CRYPTO & FRONTIER TECH
Investment approach
- Thesis
- At Tangent, we are keen to back founders building protocols and applications that expand the on-chain economy. From first principles, crypto has proven itself to be primarily good at three things besides being money and being used for capital formation. | “Web 2 app, but on a blockchain” is not a credible product strategy. Crypto’s biggest unlocks come from enabling behaviors simply not possible elsewhere. From allowing AI models to verify provenance of data to allowing creators to verify ownership of their creations, we want to uncover breakthrough use cases, apps and games uniquely enabled by crypto. | Crypto has created a global pool of liquidity more accessible than any asset class’ that any developer can tap into. This makes crypto the most powerful trustless, interoperable and 24/7 financial rails of the world. From Internet-native financial primitives, digitizing real world assets, creating prediction markets, to financialized consumer applications, crypto enables a global truth machine for value discovery on everything. | Bitcoin at its core is simply an instrument that coordinates a group of humans and/or hardware around the world. The same idea can be applied to other forms of resource coordination to build networks of any kind. From coordinating GPU clusters to provide compute for AI models to orchestrating transparent exchange between biobanks for pharmaceutical use cases - crypto is the ultimate global coordination layer.Source (opens in a new tab)
