Today we announce our spinout and the founding of @strobefund — a standalone venture firm that backs long-term oriented founders with bold visions to augment the core of entire industries and technologies. We firmly believe crypto will play a central role in shaping the future of the internet, consumer behaviors, payments, enterprise systems, real-world infrastructure & more.

Stablecoin volumes in December alone eclipsed Visa’s Q4 volume; tokenized funds have become the marginal buyer of U.S. debt; the top 20 web3 protocols generate >$1bn in aggregate monthly revenue. The future is here. One-by-one the skeptics have capitulated and there has never been a better time to invest in the visionary founders championing the onchain future. We’re proud our Fund I *portfolio* reflects the leaders of this transformation, and we’re excited to double down on our conviction and continue to capitalize on this generational opportunity as Strobe.

It has been the joy and highlight of my career to build BlockTower VC alongside @tklocanas & @winnie. They’re not just amazing partners but I also have the privilege of calling them true friends.
