  • Pact Labs

    Participated · Series A · Jul 2026

    Pact Labs builds the core wallet, data, and payment infrastructure and permissioned smart contract architecture that connect the PACT protocol to fintech platforms and end users. Its SDKs have been deployed to deliver hundreds of thousands of embedded wallets and live stablecoin payroll flows, and its integrations have facilitated over $1.9 billion in credit across emerging markets. The company operates as the technical arm of the PACT Consortium and lists partnerships including Payactiv and the USA₮ stablecoin collaboration with Tether and Anchorage Digital Bank. Pact Labs is positioning its infrastructure to enable payroll, earned wage access, credit, and payments on-chain and to replace legacy settlement rails with 24/7 on-chain settlement and automated reconciliation. The Series A is intended to accelerate that infrastructure buildout and broader enterprise integrations.

  • Cycles

    Led · Equity · May 2026

    Cycles is developing a unified clearing network that nets obligations across crypto trading and stablecoin payment flows using zero-knowledge proofs, trusted execution environments, and multilateral clearing. Its first products are Cycles Prime, an institutional product that enables private netting of OTC obligations without collateral or asset movement, and Cycles Pay, a stablecoin payments app for individuals and businesses that routes payments through the clearing engine to minimize capital movement. Cycles Prime is launching with Lynq and FalconX as anchor partners, and Cycles Pay offers invoicing and expense management with a private beta for business features. The company was spun out of Informal Systems and is led by Cosmos co‑founder Ethan Buchman. Financially, Cycles has raised $8.7 million to date, including a $2.3 million pre-seed in 2025 and the $6.4 million round announced in May 2026.

  • Balcony

    Led · Seed · May 2026

    Balcony builds a structured, connected data layer that integrates with county land-record systems to modernize and secure U.S. property records. Its Keystone infrastructure and mTrace platform provide a 360-degree parcel view and intelligence-driven threat detection for government agencies, title insurers, mortgage lenders, and financial institutions. The company says its platform currently helps government agencies manage and secure over $400 billion in property value and has a five-year engagement to bring 370,000 Bergen County parcels (roughly $240 billion in value) onto its platform. Balcony plans to use the recent financing to scale engineering and go-to-market teams and expand deployments across county and state governments nationwide. The company is headquartered in the Greater New York area.

  • W3.io

    Led · Seed · Apr 2026

    W3.io develops the Prodigy Network, a programmable automation layer that expands Web3 functionality beyond static smart contracts by connecting top-tier network partners ('ingredients') into configurable 'recipes.' The platform targets use cases including international micropayments, revenue sharing, escrow services and secured loans, with an emphasis on making decentralized systems plug-and-play for businesses and creators. W3.io’s approach centers on enabling Bitcoin-based payouts when settlement mechanisms can mitigate Bitcoin’s price volatility. The company aims to streamline deployment and integration for organizations that lack deep Web3 expertise by delivering end-to-end workflows. The article highlights regulatory progress like the GENIUS Act as helpful but notes that practical integrations with traditional financial infrastructure will determine adoption and success.

  • Unicity Labs

    Led · Seed · Feb 2026

    Unicity Labs is a Zug, Switzerland-based protocol development company creating infrastructure for an autonomous, agent-driven internet.

The technical team—whose leaders previously founded and exited cybersecurity firm Guardtime—includes PhD-level researchers in distributed systems, cryptography, and machine learning. With its technology, the company aims to eliminate central intermediaries and significantly reduce latency and cost in machine-to-machine transactions.
