I am winding-up Entropy.
After four years, several pivots, and two rounds of layoffs, I’ve decided to wind-up Entropy and return capital to our investors.
For the latter half of 2025, the Entropy team was hard at work on a crypto automations platform (basically n8n/zapier/etc for crypto) with the addition of automated signing using threshold cryptography, secure computation via TEEs, and deep AI integrations.
After an initial feedback request revealed that the business model wasn’t venture scale, I was left with the choice to find a creative way forward or pivot once more. After four hard years working in crypto, I decided that the best I could do has already been done: it was time to close up shop.
I have a lot to say on “giving up”, maybe for a different time. I’ve never once given up in my career. The only thing I’ve ever quit was college, so this makes the second thing. It’s challenging, but I find peace in the fact that a career is a practice: the goal is not the destination, but the journey of innovation. Every step is a new result towards something even bigger than before.
The remaining team is exceptionally skilled: a brilliant software engineer (soon, a likely founder), an insanely talented and hungry product marketer, and the best and most talented product designer i’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. If any of these profiles fit your needs, please reach out and I’ll try and provide a double opt-in. These folks have been the best team a founder could ask for.
As for me, I’ll be taking a much needed break to do research on my next venture, spend time relaxing, and making art.
My time in crypto might be coming to an end, as I feel myself drawn specifically into pharmaceuticals: I want to innovate on hormone delivery, specifically for women who experience menopause and trans women for HRT. I will be spending my time validating my research on new Estradiol drug formulations, as well as biophysics and organic chemistry. If you have experience in the pharma or medicine space, please reach out!
Special thanks to @a16zcrypto and @guywuolletjr for being exceptionally helpful throughout this process. Their guidance has been invaluable.
Thanks to everyone who has been involved: without y’all, none of this would have been possible.
Thank you,
Voltairine Novatore Pacific (aka Tux)
