A founder’s lens
01 / 04Teams over
narratives.
I’ve spent the last five years backing the people building the next layer of finance and the internet, from early bets on Mysten Labs (Sui), Sei and Casper Labs to Manta Network, Humanity Protocol and Pixelmon. Before that I was a founder, twice. That’s the lens I invest through: I back teams and use cases, not narratives.
