  • Uniblock

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

    Uniblock operates a managed infrastructure layer that connects blockchain applications to over 300 blockchains and 55 data partners via a single API key and a patented auto-routing orchestration layer. The platform normalizes data, handles provider selection and failover, and serves more than 3,000 projects and 4,000 developers in production; customers named include Plume Network, Stellar Blockchain, Hypernative, Oku Trade, nReach, and Apechain. Uniblock has launched AI-native developer tools—an MCP server for agent access, LLM-optimized documentation (llms.txt), and Agent Skills—to enable AI-driven and developer-first integration. Financially, the company announced a $5.2M funding raise (bringing total funding to $7.5M) from a mix of institutional and angel investors across multiple geographies. Planned product and go-to-market priorities include expanding chain coverage, scaling the intelligent orchestration engine, building new API categories (stablecoins, wallets, prediction markets), and growing enterprise and ecosystem partnerships. The company is scaling engineering and operations from its Canadian headquarters.

  • Blockcast

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    Blockcast is building a blockchain-based CDN that combines broadcast data-transfer techniques with Solana’s infrastructure to alleviate growing internet-traffic bottlenecks. The network is now running a six-month “Proof of Resources Epoch,” during which operators can launch lightweight Beacon nodes in Docker containers and earn rewards proportionate to uptime, outbound bandwidth, and hardware performance. High-performing node operators will receive special NFTs, while all participants accrue points that can later convert into a token drop at the project’s token-generation event (TGE). Node setup is intentionally lightweight, requiring only basic Linux hardware and a multicast-compatible IP for bonus points. A web dashboard lets operators register nodes, monitor health status, and track rewards, with the first connection test after six hours and initial payouts after 24 hours of continuous operation. To fund development, Blockcast has secured a $2.85 million seed round. No revenue or user figures have been disclosed, underscoring the project’s early-stage status.

  • Zynk

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2025

    Zynk is developing a blockchain-based payment infrastructure that enables instant international settlements without requiring pre-funded liquidity, targeting use cases such as fintech apps, remittance providers, trading platforms, neobanks, payroll systems, and other B2B payment processors. Its platform currently supports transactions across USD, EUR, AED, INR, MXN, and PHP corridors, and it earns revenue by charging fees tied to transaction volume and liquidity usage. Founded in April 2025 by Prashanth Swaminathan, Manish Bhatia, and Abhishek Pitti, the company operates out of Hyderabad. Since a quiet launch earlier this year, Zynk reports 70% month-on-month growth. With the fresh capital, the team plans to widen corridor coverage, bolster compliance and security, and secure partnerships with global banks and payment institutions. These initiatives aim to solidify Zynk’s position as the backbone for real-time, cross-border money movement. The company has not publicly disclosed revenue figures but positions its rapid growth trajectory and expanding corridor network as key indicators of traction.

  • Voyage

    Participated · Seed · Oct 2025

    Voyage is building what it calls the first Generative Engine Optimization Finance (GEOFi) network, a protocol designed to create a fair distribution layer for AI citation systems. The platform intends to track and credit original knowledge contributors when their content is used in AI-generated outputs, distributing rewards accordingly. By aligning incentives between AI models, content creators, and end users, Voyage aims to solve the growing problem of attribution and compensation in generative AI. The team positions GEOFi as foundational infrastructure that can be integrated across AI applications and content platforms. Future plans likely include expanding the network’s adoption among AI developers and content ecosystems, though specific product launch timelines were not disclosed. The company has just secured initial capital but has not yet shared revenue, user numbers, or other operating metrics. Its current financial situation is bolstered by a $3 million pre-seed round, marking its first external funding.

  • Bleap

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2024

    Bleap provides a blockchain-based financial account platform that enables users to spend globally without FX markups, send instant cross-border transfers, and earn stablecoin-denominated cashback and yield. The product is built on blockchain settlement layers and positions itself as a self-custodial alternative to traditional banking and fintech offerings. During 2025, the company grew to more than 20,000 users and processed over $30 million in transaction volume, demonstrating early traction. With fresh capital, Bleap plans to scale its service across Europe and Latin America, speed up product development, and add capabilities for trading digital and tokenized real-world assets. The founders are Joao Alves and Guilherme Gomes, who are steering the company’s expansion strategy. Prior to the current raise, Bleap secured $2.3 million in a pre-seed round in late 2024, bringing total disclosed funding to $8.3 million.
