@jonah_b LOL - your competitors just don't see the 1000x bigger market coming now : wallstreet3 !

Many crypto funds pivoted to other sectors, expanded their mandate (and are doing less crypto deals), or went out of business. We are still deploying into this industry.

@LeeHack2000 @patamiel @DowsersFinance 😄😁😁😁

@Patrick_Dowsers @patamiel @DowsersFinance Exactement. 25 ans et 3 boites dans la vallée, j'ai tjrs retardé les ventes sur la France parce la mentalité est insupportable. Niveau VC, le nb de levées où les banques participent est hallucinant. Des banquiers, en tech... Y'a pas d'argent et le management est Bac-2

14 juillet. Jour de fierté nationale. La France a le meilleur système de formation au monde en maths et ingénierie. Station F. Bpifrance. La French Tech. Et pourtant : sur les 10 plus grosses boîtes IA du monde, zéro française. Sur les 10 plus grosses IPO tech de 2026, zéro européenne. On a les talents. On n'a pas encore les entreprises. C'est ça le vrai sujet.

@CoinMarketCap @DowsersFinance : mathematical proofs of smart contract's safety

Tag a project you trust 1000%

How Tokenization Makes Treasury Work 24/7 ? Imagine receiving $1 billion on a Friday afternoon. For most of us, that's fiction. For the treasury departments of global corporations, banks and financial institutions, it's business as usual. Today's financial system is remarkably efficient if you want to invest cash for months or years. But if you want to lend excess liquidity for just a few hours or a weekend, it becomes surprisingly inefficient. Treasurers often have to submit orders during a narrow morning window. Settlement follows business-day calendars. Miss the cut-off on Friday, and your cash may remain idle until Monday. Programmable money changes that. Whether implemented with deposit tokens, tokenised money market funds or other forms of tokenised cash, the principle is the same: cash becomes available to smart contracts that can allocate it continuously. This expands treasury in three dimensions. 1. More days Liquidity is no longer limited to five business days. It becomes productive seven days a week. 2. More hours Instead of a narrow morning dealing window, liquidity can be deployed 24 hours a day. 3. More time zones While your treasury team is asleep in New York or London, an institution in Singapore, Tokyo or Sydney can borrow that liquidity and return it before your business day even begins. Your money works while you sleep. Consider a company holding $1 billion in excess cash. Using an overnight rate close to today's SOFR of 3.5%, putting that liquidity to work for just one additional weekend generates roughly $200,000. Multiply that opportunity across weekends, public holidays, different currencies and global treasury operations, and you begin to understand why every major financial institution is investing in tokenised finance. This isn't about crypto. It's about turning money into programmable infrastructure. Smart contracts automate financial agreements. Blockchains synchronise transactions between participants. Tokenised cash allows liquidity to circulate continuously. For the first time, financial markets are no longer constrained by business days, office hours or geography. The computerisation of markets in the 1980s digitised finance. Tokenisation makes finance programmable. It's time to stop talking about crypto and memecoins and start paying attention to what really matters: the transformation of the global financial system through smart contracts and blockchain.

Having advised dozens of startups before founding my own, I'd add one thought. Open source is a difficult business model. Unless you reach massive scale, it's very hard to build a sustainable company around software that anyone can copy. AI is making this even more true. Wishing the Sablier team all the best.

Sablier is winding down and the reasons they cite are striking: "1. Most customers postponed their launches as crypto markets deteriorated" > Straightforward: crypto's cyclicality is currently hitting every company hard. "2. AI-assisted coding has made it much cheaper to replicate Sablier's products" > Monetizing open-source software was already hard, AI makes it harder. More than ever, writing code ≠ creating value and being able to monetize your code in crypto is what matters. Start first with a business idea that can be monetized, then create to code/infrastructure for it. All the best to the Sablier team for what's next!

@16vchq we knew and built way before the goat

We invest before the world agrees. We're looking for: • Obsessive founders • Large markets • Fast product velocity • Evidence people want it even if it's tiny Revenue is great. Clarity is better. Founder conviction matters most. What are you building?
