M&A + Cap Markets | Allocating up to $1M a year into early stage | DMs open | Building @KaspaBots

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

We’re investing up to $1,000,000 in Kaspa startups.

[KaspaBots @KaspaBots]

Bitcoin had Miami.

Ethereum had DEVCON.

Now it’s Kaspa’s turn.

Introducing the Kaspa Conference: a 4-day experience bringing together builders, investors, and the $KAS community.

And we’re investing up to $1,000,000 in Kaspa startups.

Here’s what we’re building. 🧵

@CryptoEndeavr @KaspaBots We thought about this. Other L1s have treasuries. Every dollar Kaspa spends has to stretch + heavier impact. If it’s a war of attrition, Kaspa needs to find asymmetry/a wedge.

@thekaspaonion It’s been a while! Weren’t you studying to be a lawyer?

If Legora/Harvey captures the 2020s. What can we build to capture the 2030s?

@AppKaskad @KaspaBots @AppKaskad has been shipping HARD 🙌

If you had 30 minutes + a stage + keynote repackaged to venture and TradFi what would you say?

@Jennovators @KaspaBots Year 2 fund needs to be bigger.

@neo_zambas @KaspaBots Build for the 99% outside of crypto

@KaspaKing1 @michaelsuttonil @hus_qy Build and take market share.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@neo_zambas @realvijayk I can’t handle the spotlight. It suits you better. You got my vote. 🗳️

[Hans Moog @hus_qy]

@michaelsuttonil It's all coming together.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@_BlacKAS We have so much planned it’s not even funny.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@Radical_Ed_Bad If you have an idea, now’s the time. You no longer need an engineering team or a seed check. A weekend + an AI subscription is all you need.

US venture is at ~$500B YTD.
China $60B
Europe $40B

Term sheets are getting signed over coffee in SF.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

Payments network effects are brutal. If Stripe ships a similar settlement layer, pure feature competition gets hard.

Check out Instinct. They just raised $1B. In SF we’re already handing over purchases, returns, and life admin to our agents. An agent that can trigger a cryptographically final, verifiable refund in seconds (without trusting card logs) has a real opening.

I’d focus there. Kaspa’s speed + cost profile is built for agent driven commerce.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@KaspaCom @KaspaBots If a founder asks how does KaspaCom ship so fast, we can tell them… or you can… during office hours or at the conference 😏

Kaspa needs their experienced builders paving the way.

@KaspaBots Well where to begin 😁 here is my list of speakers I would love to hear speak:

@hashdag
@michaelsuttonil
@OriNewman
@coderofstuff_
@Max143672
@manyfest_
@IzioDev
@hus_qy
@supertypo_kas
@WellerOlaf

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@KaspaMobile @michaelsuttonil @KaspaBots @hashdag Heaven and earth.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@manyfest_ @KaspaBots We’d love to have you involved. It would be incredibly valuable for a room full of people actively trying to ship on Kaspa.

Open to whatever format feels useful to you (workshop at the conference, office hours, accelerator mentor, or just being around for builders).

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@realvijayk @moxypixy15683 @michaelsuttonil @KaspaBots @neo_zambas @Jennovators Teamwork makes the dream work.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@fishtuna @KaspaBots Kaspa core devs are making magic.
Time to do our part.

[Ethan @EthanAnvel]

@KaspaBots @michaelsuttonil Norwegian Cruise Line, meet Michael Sutton.
