Early stage blockchain venture capital. A JV with @Lightspeedvp. Tweets never investment advice.

We raised a $35M Series A led by @oakhcft . That brings our total capital raised to $43M. We spent the last decade watching money get stuck at borders across roles at Uber, Coinbase, Stripe, and Zero Hash. Latitude (@rtp) is what we built with those lessons.

Global payments are broken. We're fixing the rails. $8M seed led by NEA. Team from Uber, Coinbase, Stripe, and more. Full story in Fortune (in comments)

There are two ways to touch 8 billion lives: acquire 8 billion individual customers, or build the infrastructure for the institutions that already serve them. We chose the latter. Today we're announcing OpenFX’s $94M Series A from @Accel, @atomico, @FactionVC, @M13Company , @northzoneVC, @PanteraCapital, and with support from existing investors @flybridge and @hash3xyz.

Over a decade ago at Uber, we were paying drivers across 40 countries. Their top ask: "Pay me faster." That stuck with me through Coinbase and Stripe, where I kept running into the same wall from different angles. Today, Latitude (@rtp) is launching out of stealth. We raised an $8M seed round in Jan 2025 and have been building quietly since then.

OpenMind builds AI brains for robots across all form factors. Today, OM1 runs on the @LimX_Dynamics Tron 1, enabling it to move and socialize fully autonomously. Our universal infrastructure allows developers to build applications without needing to learn the intricacies of specific robot models, paving the way for mass robot adoption.
