Investment portfolio

  • Squads

    Participated · Equity · Apr 2026

    Squads builds financial infrastructure on Solana and operates two primary products: Squads Multisig, the smart account standard, and Altitude, a financial operating system for businesses. Squads Multisig secures over $10 billion in assets across the Solana ecosystem. Altitude provides businesses multi-currency accounts, corporate cards, global payments, APY on balances, and a CFO stack, and since its public launch in December 2025 has processed over $200 million in payments. Altitude holds treasury in stablecoins, settles on stablecoin rails for instant, low-cost transfers, and routes to traditional banking rails through a network of licensed PSPs. The company emphasizes compliance and security with a proprietary compliance engine and layered controls, and plans to use recent funding to expand its team, payment network, and product roadmap. Squads has raised a total of $42.9 million to date.

  • Pump.fun

    Participated · Seed · Apr 2026

    Pump.fun launched Pumpcade to enter the prediction-market space, offering rapid-resolution markets (typically 1–30 minutes) and a more gradual market listing approach to limit manipulable pairs. The platform is currently in testing with an open beta expected soon, and emphasizes markets resolvable via verifiable data to avoid oracle conflicts. The PUMPCADE token has experienced rapid price appreciation, recording a 100% weekly rally and, over recent days, much larger gains, with token market capitalization reported above $46 million and over 118,000 holders. PUMPCADE trades primarily on PumpSwap and LBank and has not yet been listed on major centralized exchanges or futures markets. Pump.fun positions Pumpcade to attract retail traders and to potentially provide a resolution engine accessible via API for other forecasting applications. The company has previously issued a PUMP token, which has remained near its historical lows even as Pumpcade gains attention.

  • TBD

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    TBD operates an on-chain prediction market platform where every vote and trade comes from a uniquely verified human, leveraging World ID authentication to keep bots and AI-generated activity out. Its core product lets individuals and organizations post polls that immediately translate into Solana-based markets, aligning economic incentives with real-world opinion data. During a private beta, the protocol hosted over 4,000 markets and logged more than 19 million votes from 225,000+ participants worldwide, demonstrating early traction and network effects. The company was founded by Corey Miller and Taehoon Lee, who previously built products together at dYdX. By merging polling and trading into one workflow, TBD seeks to become the definitive source of large-scale, AI-resistant sentiment data for businesses, policymakers, and researchers. The public launch accompanies a fresh capital infusion that will fund further product development and scaling efforts.

  • Opinion Labs

    Led · Series A · Feb 2026

    Opinion operates a decentralized prediction-market exchange in which all trades and settlements occur entirely on-chain, positioning itself as a non-custodial alternative to centralized betting and derivatives venues. The product experience is closest to Polymarket, allowing users to speculate on macroeconomic and regional events. Since launching key market categories in October, the platform has expanded rapidly and now holds approximately $130 million in open interest across its markets. This growth underscores rising user engagement and liquidity within the protocol. Opinion’s business model centers on transaction fees generated from trading activity and liquidity provision. Proceeds from its recent capital raise will be used to deepen market liquidity, expand event categories, and enhance the underlying smart-contract infrastructure. The company’s near-term roadmap also includes scaling user acquisition and reinforcing its compliance and oracle systems.

  • TBD

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    TBD is developing a prediction-market protocol that runs entirely on the Solana blockchain, providing the tooling and liquidity rails needed for decentralized forecasting applications. The project aims to serve as core infrastructure, enabling third-party developers and users to create, trade, and settle prediction contracts on-chain. With its Solana foundation, TBD targets low-latency execution and high throughput, differentiating itself from legacy prediction markets that often face scalability and fee constraints. The team plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate protocol development, bolster liquidity, and expand ecosystem partnerships. While specific user or revenue metrics were not disclosed, the company’s roadmap emphasizes rapid product iteration and liquidity growth prior to a broader public launch. No information on founding year, headquarters, or current financial performance was provided in the article.
