    Participated · Equity · Oct 2025

    Turtle has built a liquidity distribution protocol that curates opportunities, consolidates liquidity, and routes it to DeFi partners via a data-driven coordination layer. The platform currently serves an expanding network, linking more than 358,000 wallets and routing over $5.5 billion in liquidity. To date, the company has generated more than $6 million in revenue, illustrating the sustainability of its model compared with short-term incentive schemes. Led by CEO Essi Lagevardi, Turtle is now focusing on accelerating the rollout of its Earn infrastructure, enlarging its engineering team, and deepening multi-chain integrations.

  • Layer3

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2024

    Layer3 is building an omnichain identity and distribution protocol that aggregates user activity across multiple chains and dApps to create onchain identities and enable targeted token distributions. The protocol generates a unified view of a user’s onchain identity and lets projects programmatically route tokens based on criteria such as temporal triggers, asset ownership, onchain activity, credentials, social graph, and quest engagement. It supports distributions across 25 blockchains spanning EVM-compatible chains and Solana, and has been used by teams including Uniswap, Base, Arbitrum, Linea, Polygon, Gnosis, and Celo. Layer3's platform has served over 3 million users in 120 countries to date. The company raised $15M in the Series A reported here and has $21.2M in total funding to date.

    Participated · Equity · Mar 2024

    Reya Network (formerly Voltz Labs) operates a modular DEX on an Ethereum Layer-2 that offers cross-margin perpetuals with zero-fee BTC and ETH trading, millisecond-level execution and plans for a bespoke ZK-rollup to eliminate single-sequencer risk. The platform claims 1–1.5 billion USD in daily volume, more than 60 billion USD in cumulative trading volume, 70+ listed markets and over 100,000 connected wallets, ranking 12th among perpetual DEXs on DeFiLlama. The $REYA token underpins staking, governance, fee discounts and validator security, and features a buy-back programme using 80 % of trading and liquidation fees. Reya previously secured 16 million USD in venture financing from Coinbase Ventures, Framework Ventures, Wintermute and Selini Capital. Looking ahead, the team is rolling out a dedicated ZK-rollup that targets sub-millisecond execution while maintaining full decentralisation. The token’s generation event is scheduled for Q4 2025, after which trading utility and governance functions will activate.
