Proud to be backing @BasedOneX.
The team combines speed, product instinct, and real user empathy.
Markets evolve. Teams that execute, listen, and adapt win. Excited to see them push this frontier.

We just raised US$11.5M to build the next generation of on chain finance.
Proud to announce our latest round as we scale Based, the crypto SuperApp to trade everything and spend everywhere.
Based brings perpetuals, prediction markets, spot trading, and real world spending into a single on chain first experience. All from one SuperApp.
The best thing you can do for yourself this weekend is to fork out a couple bucks, subscribe to pro versions of AI tools and spend a few hours vibing around with them
We're excited to participate in @pave_bank's Series A
A licensed, full-reserve bank building programmable infrastructure for the on-chain era
Institutions can hold, transact, and program across fiat and digital assets in one platform
Congrats @sodhanani@simonvc
Why we invested 🧵
If you're building a chain today, there are basically two paths to success:
1) Be 10x better than everyone else. Innovations of this scale are unlikely to come from tech at this point. Your best bet is targeting a specific vertical with product or GTM insights that only you have
2) Build a highly successful app, then platformize it into a chain later and attract other apps that benefit from colocation to you
None of them is easy, but 2) is arguably easier than 1) and in some ways strictly dominant. If you know how to build an excellent platform for XXX apps, you should probably use these insights to make that app yourself, then platformize later.
people don’t realize how heavily subsidized AI is right now
your o3 prompts probably cost more in electricity alone than your subscription fee
remember when uber was awesome and cheaper than a taxi? yeah, that.
