Individual Sovereignty
We invest in the great awakening of the sovereign individual and the potential of peer to peer distributed networks to reshape the nature of reality.
Data Ownership
In Web2 data was “the new oil” – in Web3 data is open and abundant, allowing developers and creators to break up the Web2 data monopolies.
Open Finance
Permissionless blockchains allow for interoperability and give developers and users alike access to financial products at a global scale, from day one.
Privacy
True sovereignty comes with privacy, a fundamental human right to protect the minority from the majority.

Nym is the privacy infrastructure of the Internet. NYM is a distributed, worldwide, decentralized incentivized mixnet.
Personally I find a European hands-on & long-term focused blockchain venture capitalist, which is independent of Silicon Valley, a must have in a token round. Tioga fits this mold perfectly for Nym. We’ve had many insightful conversations on structuring the tokenomics, as well as on the go to market strategy and the token launch game plan (e.g. which market makers to work with, which platform to use etc.)

Why We Invested in Altitude
28 January 2024
Overcollateralised lending is one of the most prominent use cases of DeFi, especially during bull markets when the demand for leverage increases. However, despite the programmability and composability of DeFi, we are still struggling with a trade-off between capital efficiency and peace of mind when taking over collateralized loan positions.
Euro stablecoins and the Future of Money
09 August 2023
In Q1 2023, Blackrock made $1.16B in net income. In that same time, Tether netted $1.48B. A stablecoin issuer has just surpassed the net income of a 35-year-old asset manager with $9T AUM.
It is no surprise that issuing stablecoins is a highly profitable business, at least for now.
Thesis: Real World DeFi
21 June 2023
If software is eating the world, crypto is eating capital markets.
Tokenisation is not a new concept. Startups, banks, and stock exchanges have explored this since before 2017. However, the present moment is an unparalleled opportunity for mass adoption. With stablecoins proving themselves effective as a medium of exchange and DeFi infrastructure proving reliable post-DeFi Summer 2020, we stand at the precipice of a significant on-chain influx of Real World Assets.
