- Celu: 2013 '1st altcoin fund'. Family Office & funds
- Yoni (?): Own Fund
- Rick: Started VentureDAO (?)
- Investment Thesis
- Any area with traction (e.g.ZKsync, Olympus forks)
- Background in their area of interest
- Deal Terms
- Funding Size: 5-6K USD
- No contracts, follow-on investments
- Time Bound: 3-6 months (extendable)
- Funnel & Process

- No preference for softwares / DAO tools
