Web3 and crypto
After dozens of conversations with private banks and wealth managers, we realized that a few key ideas helped make the crypto and Web3 world much clearer.
- Blockchain and crypto should not be separated: they need each other Chapter 01
- Crypto is a human coordination technology Chapter 02
- Crypto is mostly not about “currencies”, but about a new kind of tech-business Chapter 03
- Crypto assets play a unique double role, like both “stock” and “oil” Chapter 04
- Decentralization matters in our time Chapter 05

Conviction
Our conviction in Web3
Crypto and Web3 for us is “liquid venture capital.” It combines the visionary, high-risk ethos of traditional venture capital with the precision and agility of data-driven, actively managed liquid portfolios.
That’s why our founding team brings together deep experience in both venture capital and quantitative finance, merging visionary thinking with rigorous execution.
