Excited to announce KRAKacquisition Corp. (KRAQU)โa SPAC formed in partnership between @NatCapCentral , @krakenfx, and @tribecap, where I serve as CEO.
Throughout history, speculation has catalyzed lasting innovation: Dutch East India shares created equity markets. Grain futures built the Chicago Board of Trade. Junk bonds opened mid-market capital access.
The same pattern is unfolding in digital assets. Over $240 billion in private investment since 2016. 650M+ users globally. Stablecoins settling $136B+ in payments. What began as speculation is now crystallizing into infrastructure.
We're focused on companies building the convergence of DeFi and TradFiโpayment networks, tokenization platforms, blockchain infrastructure, compliance solutions. Companies ready to scale in the public markets.
Fortunate to partner with @mooredant, @brevsin , and independent directors @artzandy, @bendavenport , @JReedRosenthal , and @nikichain.
Special thanks to: @superjz@arjunsethi@LaurenP0ST@LunaPRofficial
capital treadmills (perpetual dilution) vs. capital catapults (front-loaded, finite dilution)
What appears to be disciplined, prudent investing (the gradual drip-feed) in marketplaces/software is actually a trap that can lead to worse outcomes than the seemingly riskier approach of larger, concentrated bets on deep tech.
@celinehalioua do you have a sense of the shape of the curve?
do you suspect that p(success) and approval times are linear, logarithmic, s-curve, or concave down/inverted quadratic wrt staffing?
