  • Rulematch

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2026

    Rulematch AG operates an institutional-first digital asset trading venue that exclusively onboards banks and securities firms and supports Bitcoin and Ethereum spot trading paired against USD. The platform launched live trading on December 14, 2023, and integrates Nasdaq technology for risk management and market surveillance. Rulematch has formed a partnership with SIX Digital Exchange to provide integrated custody and settlement solutions. The firm secured a MiCA trading platform license for Rulematch Europe AG from the Liechtenstein FMA on June 3, 2026, which enables onboarding of participants across the European Economic Area. Financially, the company raised approximately $14M in a pre-Series A round led by FiveT Fintech with participation from Consensys Mesh and Flow Traders, and those funds were allocated to spot trading, multilateral clearing, and settlement services. The platform positions itself against other institutional venues by combining traditional market infrastructure integrations and European regulatory coverage.

  • Shodai Network

    Led · Seed · Nov 2025

    Shodai Network develops a crypto-native fundraising platform aimed at eliminating what it calls “toxic capital” by structuring token and equity deals that balance the long-term interests of founders, investors, and communities. Co-founded by ConsenSys veterans Simon Brown (CEO) and Bryan Peters (CPO), the project offers open-source tools that help early-stage blockchain teams design healthier token economics and governance models. The company positions itself as a catalyst for more transparent, institutionally friendly capital flows within the Ethereum ecosystem. Fresh seed financing will allow Shodai to expand its founder community, recruit additional blockchain engineers, and harden platform security. Management also plans to deepen alliances with industry partners and accelerate product testing ahead of a public launch. By prioritizing “healthy capital,” Shodai hopes to set new standards for diligence and incentive alignment across the crypto sector.

  • Digital Infrastructure Services

    Participated · Series A · Jan 2024

    Digital Infrastructure is a startup focused on decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) with a protocol called DIMO aimed at vehicle owners and the automotive sector. The DIMO protocol enables drivers to share data about their cars and earn rewards in the form of a native token, also called DIMO. The company has launched the DIMO token, which the article reports has a market capitalization of roughly $100 million and a trading price around $0.55, up more than 10% in the prior 24 hours. Digital Infrastructure says it plans to accelerate development of DIMO applications and hardware and to mature the DIMO Network into a foundational DePIN protocol. Leadership and investors describe a vision of digitally transforming the automotive industry and creating a dynamic, on-demand marketplace for local automotive services with competitive pricing and smooth transactions.

  • Digital Infrastructure

    Participated · Series A · Jan 2024

    Digital Infrastructure publishes DIMO Mobile and builds core components of the DIMO open connected-vehicle network. Its core product, DIMO Mobile, connects to automakers' connected-vehicle services or to hardware devices (AutoPi and the DIMO Macaron) that plug into a car's OBD port to collect private fuel, location, maintenance, and diagnostics data. The company plans to upgrade DIMO Mobile, build direct integrations with automakers, and continue developing hardware such as the AutoPi and Macaron devices. The DIMO network grew 900% last year from 3,000 to more than 33,000 cars; drivers and fleets traveled over 220 million miles across 1,300 vehicle models in the first year. Users can opt into anonymized data sharing to earn DIMO tokens and rewards, and the network reports average annualized savings and rewards of more than $1,250 per connected driver or fleet. The company recently closed an $11.5 million Series A to fund product upgrades, automaker integrations, and hardware development. Digital Infrastructure, Inc. is a NYC-based, user-owned IoT platform focused on building the DIMO network to let owners create verified data streams from devices they own and share them privately. The platform is inspired by Helium, Streamr, IPFS and Ethereum and starts with connected cars. The company plans to open-source its core software, release an SDK for developers, expand hardware supply and support production of additional DIMO-compatible devices, and seed apps and services for target groups like EV manufacturers and electric utilities. Digital Infrastructure also intends to further decentralize governance to include drivers, public and private fleets, and app developers. Since launching App.Dimo.Zone in December 2021 the company has seen over 17,000 vehicles added, demand from over 700 fleets, and dozens of mobility services building on the platform. It has 2,500 DIMO-enabled Data Miners pre-ordered through Shop.Dimo.Zone, with the first units delivered and installed in consumer vehicles, enabling private secure hardware connections and reward access via Mobility Data Unions.
