- Datahive AI
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Datahive AI operates a DePIN-style product that runs on users' phones, turning idle devices into workers that collect public web content such as product pages, reviews, and videos. The company emphasizes privacy, stating it does not collect browser histories, passwords, or private searches and that even the Datahive team cannot trace activity back to individual users. It further describes a security model that shards user-contributed data into tiny fragments distributed across thousands of devices so no single piece is meaningful on its own. Users earn points for participation, and those points can be converted into crypto rewards. Public reporting highlights the company's positioning in the privacy-first and web3 spaces. The company announced a $3.5M Seed raise from several web3 and tech investors.
- BetHog
Participated · Series A · Apr 2026
Founded in 2024 by the creators of FanDuel and based in Edinburgh, BetHog operates a crypto casino and sportsbook available in 14 languages and accepting deposits in 10 cryptocurrencies. Its product mix includes classic casino games, exclusive titles, and AI-powered live dealers; the company launched its first AI blackjack dealer, Sunny, in October 2025 and reports it as one of the most played games. BetHog has introduced Sentient Studios, a B2B platform to let other operators deploy AI dealers across live casino offerings. The company plans to expand its AI dealer capabilities later in the year to include Baccarat and Roulette.

- Silhouette Exchange
Led · Seed · Mar 2026
Silhouette Exchange is building the first shield exchange on Hyperliquid, a privacy-preserving layer that batches and matches orders off-chain within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and settles them on-chain. By combining off-chain private order matching with on-chain settlement, the platform aims to enable more secure and efficient trading environments for digital assets. The company positions its architecture as hybrid infrastructure that preserves privacy while maintaining on-chain finality. Silhouette raised an $8 million Seed round to accelerate development and expand its privacy-preserving infrastructure. The financing structure included a CLA and a Token Warrant, reflecting a blend of equity-like and token-based capital. The article does not provide revenue, user, or other operating metrics.
- Bulk Trade
Led · Seed · Jan 2026
Bulk Trade is developing a Solana-based perpetual decentralized exchange that embeds its order-matching engine directly in validator nodes. Built on Bulk-Agave, a fork of the Jito-agave Solana validator client, the platform adds a Bulk Tile plugin that handles order matching and liquidations in parallel to normal validation. Orders are split into eight shards, propagated via UDP, and matched on a fixed 20-millisecond "matching tick," achieving latency comparable to centralized exchanges while preventing front-running. The CLOB supports USDC-margined perpetual contracts, offers gas-free order placement through APIs and CCXT, includes self-trade prevention, and settles trades on-chain after a 25-40 ms economic confirmation. Delphi Digital notes Bulk refreshes every 20 ms versus the 400 ms typical on Solana DEXs, ensuring displayed liquidity is fully executable until explicitly cancelled. Validators can run Bulk without forfeiting Jito MEV revenue and earn additional fees from order flow, aligning incentives across the ecosystem. The product is currently in closed beta with a public testnet expected to launch soon.
- worm.wtf
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

The successful raise highlights growing investor interest in decentralized prediction markets on Solana.
