The SF pre-seed and seed funding scene is weird.

There are tons of $20–100M funds looking to deploy capital into AI startups on founder-friendly terms.

Then there are founders happily giving away 10% equity to YC or Speedrun because the value they bring goes way beyond cash.

Then there are genuinely helpful angels who back you simply because they want to be part of your mission. They'll buy your product for their company, introduce you to friends, and become your biggest supporters.

And then there are VPs and senior engineers at top tech companies casually writing $10k–$50k checks.

At this point, your best fundraising strategy in SF might just be hanging out at Blue Bottle or Equator Coffee.

You'll probably run into a VC or someone who can write you a check before you finish your coffee.

AI agents need to pay for things. x402 is how they do it on @solana.

Here’s who’s building 👇

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

Nearly two-thirds of enterprises worldwide have experimented with AI agents, but fewer than 10% have scaled them to deliver tangible value.

The gap between experimenting and leading comes down to one thing: data foundations. https://t.co/YB7w23DZPN

Nanopayments are not “small payments.”

They’re sub-cent, high-frequency transfers, often as little as $0.000001, designed for machines, not humans.

As AI agents transact autonomously, traditional rails break down.

We need infrastructure built for agent-scale value exchange.

Venture fund I used to work for in HK always looked for this in a deck...

1. founder bios, not your linkedin. why YOU for THIS problem.
2. tam and why you have a right to win it.
3. your moat, why you build faster, acquire stickier, or both.
4. product roadmap.
5. how you're spending the money.
