  • Kairos

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    Kairos is building a unified, cross-platform terminal that allows professional traders to analyze and execute positions across multiple prediction market venues such as Polymarket. Founded by former Cboe Global Markets employees Jay Malawa and Zaid Alzein, the company aims to solve the fragmentation of information and poor user experience that currently hampers prediction market trading. The product aspires to serve as a comprehensive trading workstation, offering integrated analytics and execution tools in one interface. With only the two co-founders on staff today, Kairos plans to use its newly raised capital to expand headcount and roll out a private beta, accessible via a waitlist on kairos.trade and through X (formerly Twitter). Early testers can already experiment with an alpha version of the terminal on the website. The company believes growing volumes on platforms like Polymarket underscore the need for institutional-grade infrastructure in this space. Its $2.5 million seed financing provides the initial resources to scale product development and market entry.

  • Architect

    Participated · Series A · Dec 2025

    Architect Financial Technologies Inc. builds trading technology and brokerage services for institutional clients across global markets. Its flagship product is AX, the financial industry’s first centralized exchange for perpetual futures on traditional assets such as foreign currencies, interest rates, single stocks, stock indexes, metals, and other commodities. Operated by Architect Bermuda Ltd. under the Bermuda Monetary Authority, AX provides regulatory clarity and is presently open to hedge funds, market makers, asset managers, insurers, and other professional investors, with a wait-list for sophisticated individual traders. Established in 2023, Architect previously raised a $5 million pre-seed round in 2023 and a $12 million seed round in 2024. The newly secured capital will be used to scale AX’s infrastructure, broaden its product coverage, and deepen global distribution. Management believes these efforts will help catalyze a new era in global derivatives trading by extending perpetual futures to traditional markets.
