HELPING CATALYZE A NEW INTERNET VIA DECENTRALIZED PROTOCOLS

Portfolio



THE FUTURE IS STATELESS

STATELESS VENTURES IS AN EARLY STAGE CRYPTO ASSET INVESTMENT FIRM. WE BACK
STARTUPS WITH HIGHLY ASYMMETRIC RISK REWARD POTENTIAL. OFTEN, THESE ARE GOOD
IDEAS THAT START OUT LOOKING LIKE BAD IDEAS. IDENTIFYING THE CROSSOVER BETWEEN
WHAT THE SMARTEST PEOPLE ARE WORKING ON DURING NIGHTS/WEEKENDS AND WHERE THE
WORLD IS GOING. WE ARE WITNESSING A CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION OF INNOVATION IN
FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND WEB ARCHITECTURE. THE FUTURE WEB WILL BE MORE
DECENTRALIZED, FREE FROM TRUSTED 3RD PARTIES AND MONOPOLY TECH GIANTS.

 

WE BELIEVE THE INTERNET SHOULD BE MORE EGALITARIAN. BY INVESTING IN STARTUPS AND
CRYPTO PROTOCOLS, WE INTEND TO BRING ABOUT THAT CHANGE.
