We back startups bringing digital and physical resources onchain to expand and strengthen the foundation of our shared future.
Human progress has always been defined
by our ability to manipulate energy and atoms
over spacetime.
We believe the most obvious use case for
blockchains and tokens is to find, fund, and
facilitate the most efficient use of these
thermodynamically constrained resources at
civilization scale.
This innovation couldn’t come at a more
critical moment.
Traditional systems are crumbling.
Legacy institutions are more concerned with
maintaining power than keeping pace with
technological and societal change.
And the current investment ecosystem is s
imply not focused enough on these basic
building blocks of prosperity.
But a new generation of ambitious builders
isn’t waiting around. They’re creating an
operating system for humanity’s most
pressing challenges, built on public
blockchain networks.
Financed, operated, and governed using
tokens, these dynamic networks of hardware
and software will forge a new foundation for
our shared future.
