Overview
Moore Capital Management, LLC (MCM) is an employee owned hedge fund sponsor. The firm provides its services to institutions and high net worth individuals. It invests in the public equity and fixed income markets across the globe. The firm employs a global macro-style approach to investing. Moore Capital Management was founded in 1986 and is based in New York, New York. Moore Capital Management, ran by Louis Bacon. Moore, named after Bacon's middle name, is a $10 billion global macro set of hedge funds. The next few funds we will be covering are global macro oriented funds, which is a switch from some of the more value oriented funds we've been covering, like the 'Tiger Cub' funds including Stephen Mandel's Lone Pine Capital, Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital, John Griffin's Blue Ridge Capital , and Andreas Halvorsen's Viking Global. Global macro funds seek to find investments in whatever market they can gain an edge, whether it be equities, bonds, currencies, debt, commodities, and more. So, keep in mind that these equity positions only represent a portion of the fund's overall holdings. They are not required to disclose holdings outside of equities, notes, and stock options. Louis Bacon is a famed trader and risk manager. He comes from the group of "offspring" of the legendary Commodities Corp. Bacon emerged as one of the great macro traders alongside the likes of Paul Tudor Jones (Tudor Investment Corp), and Bruce Kovner (Caxton Associates). And, interestingly enough, Bacon helped get his firm off the ground when Paul Tudor Jones stopped accepting capital from investors and instead turned them to Bacon's firm. Returning 31% annually since inception in 1990, Bacon can be very proud of his flagship fund, Moore Global Investments, but, it doesn't stop there, as his returns have shown little correlation to the stock market and low volatility. He is the definition of a risk manager. Bacon credits his risk management skills to the futures markets, where he learned to be sensitive to market action. And, he learned such skills at an early age. While getting his MBA at Columbia, he used his student loan money to trade. And, he lost it all. Clearly, he learned a lesson he would never forget. Such a lesson stuck with him as he worked various jobs in the financial industry before eventually starting his own firm. And, in his first year managing Moore Capital Management, he returned 86%. Bacon strives to identify long running macro trends. While he has a longer-term macroeconomic view, he won't let that stop him from making money by trading around the position in the mean time.

Participated · Series B · Jun 2025
Simetrik offers a no-code, agentic-AI reconciliation platform that matches transactions from any source, standardizes data for reporting and AI use, and provides real-time oversight and exception alerts. The platform processes more than one billion records per day across 40+ countries and automates 100% of reconciliation workflows.

The company says its customer base includes Santander Group, Sephora, Mercado Libre, Nubank, Stax Payments, and others, and it partners with firms such as Deloitte.

Simetrik develops financial automation software for CFOs centered on record centralization, reconciliations, controls, reporting and accounting. The company differentiates via Simetrik Building Blocks (SBBs), scalable no-code concepts that leverage generative AI.

Operational metrics improved materially: it now has clients in more than 35 countries, monitors over 200 million records daily (up from 70 million) and has seen revenue grow fourfold since its Series A. The company plans to use new funding to further develop SBBs, enhance AI capabilities and continue international expansion.

The platform is offered as a service and lets finance teams configure a big-data backend via a spreadsheet-like interface without relying on engineering.

Gringo is a super app for Brazilian drivers that centralizes vehicle documentation, payments (fines, taxes, licensing), insurance contracting and loans using the vehicle as collateral.

Gringo plans to expand its automotive credit and insurance products, add new features, and enter the used‑car buy-and-sell market to help drivers choose the best offers.

Gringo has grown to 10 million customers and aims to double its revenue over last year by the end of this year; it has raised $80 million in total. Gringo is a startup founded in 2020 that started by offering free monitoring of driver licenses and vehicle debts.

O Gringo was recently selected for Endeavor’s scale-up program and plans to use new capital to develop additional services, strengthen its team and support national expansion.
- Blockchain.com
Participated · Series E · Nov 2023
Blockchain.com launched in 2011 as a blockchain explorer and later expanded into a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange that lets users hold, buy, sell and trade tokens. The platform has onboarded more than 90 million wallets for over 40 million verified users and has facilitated in excess of $1 trillion in crypto transactions. The company reported a $270 million loan exposure to Three Arrows Capital and was materially affected by the 2022 crypto market downturn. In July 2022 Blockchain.com cut roughly 25% of its staff (about 150 people) and closed its Argentinian office to reduce costs. Recent financing and board changes accompany the company’s efforts to address the fallout from the market stress. Blockchain.com began as a blockchain explorer and is best known for its open-source noncustodial wallet that leaves users in control of private keys. The company also operates a cryptocurrency exchange and offers services to institutional investors, including custody and large over-the-counter transactions. It reports 31 million users who have verified their identities and says active users have tripled over the past 12 months. CEO Peter Smith wrote that the company is highly profitable across each of its business lines. The new funding is intended to support rapid growth with late-stage investors and the company expects to pursue acquisitions in the future. Blockchain.com began as a blockchain explorer (originally named Blockchain.info) and later built an open-source bitcoin wallet that now supports additional cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Its wallet is noncustodial, meaning users control their private keys, and the company has added features to mitigate loss of access. More recently the firm launched its own exchange to let wallet users trade more easily and expanded services for institutional investors, including order execution, custody, lending and OTC transactions. The company reports that 65 million wallets have been created via its website and mobile apps. Since 2012, 28% of bitcoin transactions have been sent or received by a Blockchain.com-managed wallet. Overall fundraising totals and specific revenue figures were not disclosed in the article.
