Factor Capital

🚨 Big news from Dinari 🚨 We just raised a $12.7M Series A to bring U.S. equities onchain — and make them accessible to anyone, anywhere 🧵

Excited for @TheFactorCap to be backing the @jollypoints team

Happy to announce @Nevermined_io's $4MM seed led by @genventurecap along with @polymorphiccap, @halo__xyz, @arca, @david_enim, @benfielding, & others. I wanted to expand on what we're building. The AI agent economy isn't some far future thing - it's literally happening rn. If you've been watching @virtuals_io, @ai16zdao, @aixbt_agent, etc. you know AI agents are already moving hundreds of millions in value. Every time an AI agent makes a prediction, processes data, or executes a trade, it incurs real compute & data costs. Right now, there's no native way for agents to handle these economics themselves. This is the critical bottleneck: We can build sophisticated AI agents that analyze markets & make decisions, but they can't manage their own resources. What we built at Nevermined is the protocol that turns every AI computation into a permissionless transaction. When an agent needs to process data or run inference, it can autonomously price & settle that computation. This matters because the next wave of AI agents won't just trade tokens - they'll form complex networks & swarms, sharing compute & data. Without proper financial infrastructure, this ecosystem hits a wall. We’ll be shipping some exciting stuff soon & we’re actively hiring! If you're building AI agents or just get why this matters, my DMs are open.

Anything in this world is possible . . . But there are certain things ONLY POSSIBLE ON @SuiNetwork HANDHELD PC GAMING @SuiPlayOfficial $SUI is a very unique type of L1 as it has its own version of move and its object based. It also is the lowest latency chain as well as having the highest amount of throughput. Once you add those components with the actual reality of infinite horizontal and vertical scalability then you have foundational technology with the ability to handle mass adoption and billions of users simultaneously. Without these metrics in this specific order the #SuiPlay0X1 would not have been possible. As we know the #SuiPlay0X1 is powered by @PLAYTR0N built on top of @SuiNetwork. Let’s highlight some of the features that Playtron brings together the table. Playtron brings a Linux based gaming OS compatible with every game store and plenty of 3rd party integration. Playtron brings console, mobile and PC gamers together to one platform all while being 5G. Playtron OS can be deployed in data centers to power gaming servers. I imagine $SUI beings apart of the AWS Node runner program can implement this. The Playtron team has investors such as @SamsungNext , @polychaincap , @alumniventures ,@TheFactorCap ,@CMT_Digital and @Mysten_Labs. The team also has on staff experience from @amazon , @Google , @Meta @PlayStation , @PayPal , @SEGA , @CallofDuty , @CrowdStrike , @RedHat and @VW. The #SuiPlay0X1 has a major advantage with all the teams involved in its development making it a true competitor to already existing gaming products. I can’t wait to see what @LuckyKatStudios and @_StudioMirai end up doing with this product. Only on $SUI is such a monumental achievement possible, completely changing Web2 and Web3 gaming landscape. If you haven’t already please join the Waitlist as put your luck to the test, it’s worth it. Waitlist : sui.io/suiplay0x1

1/ As $IBIT and others continually drive up the value of $BTC, and @MerrillLynch and @WellsFargo now offering the ETFs to clients. I wondered why @Vanguard_Group is still not in the game. 🧵

I'm happy today to announce the launch of Factor Capital (@thefactorcap). After spending the past 20 years working alongside great teams to drive innovation in established industries, I saw an opportunity to apply some of my lessons learned and deploy capital to support founders working to do the same. A growing set of creative entrepreneurs are leveraging blockchain technology to drive meaningful efficiencies in massive markets around the world - from renewable energy finance to funding scientific research and furthering the adoption of responsible and accountable AI. I began raising our first fund earlier this year and am happy to announce the official launch and first close of the fund today. This is just the beginning of a long journey to build a lasting investment business, and I am thankful to those who have been supportive in getting this off the ground and to be able to back awesome founders and businesses making a meaningful impact.
