Rent upside, no liquidation. Coming to @megaeth






I want to be crystal clear If you’re unable to raise capital, you’re a LOSER and NOT trying hard enough It’s bad enough that you’re POOR and need other people money(low T) But you don’t even have enough SWAGGER to make people give you money Power to the builders


Hot take: There isn’t lack of VC money in crypto. In fact I’d argue there’s still oversupply of capital. What’s lacking is courage. Courage to build something that defines a new unproven category. Right now I’m mostly seeing copycats chasing what’s already working. But no one cares about the 69th prediction market, 69th yield vault, 69th stablecoin neobank, etc. Polymarket, Morpho, Redotpay, etc. won because they were early to new categories before they became obvious.

We @TiogaCapital are deploying more than ever with a fresh fund (only 10% deployed) that is 2x larger than our 2 previous funds combined. Focus areas across pre-seed, seed, and series A: - RWA: we co-host @rwasummit every year and are among first & biggest investors in @maplefinance, @chaoslabs, @ChronicleLabs, etc. - Perps: we led the first rounds + series A of @Architect_Fi , led first round @extendedapp, were early on Hyperliquid and are active in the ecosystem; 2nd biggest ticket pre-seed @felixprotocol, one of the lead investors in @flyingtulip_ - Frontier tech x crypto (broad): quantum (led first round @shiftfdn), robotics (led seed round @BitRobotNetwork), AI agents If you’re building in any of these verticals, DMs are open. We lead or co-lead ~70% of the rounds where we invest.


enough with the crypto VC "we're deploying" shit honestly looks pretty retarded ngl to fellow founders & builders: remember VCs don't give two f*cks if you're not ready and your product DOESN'T exist yes, they're deploying but they're also cautious than ever before. their due diligence is atleast 2 months now and your deck is competing with 10x stronger pitches and if you don't have a live product AND don't have enough traction, there are high chances (>90%) you'll be passed on or worse simply ghosted

The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane. Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks. Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high. Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success). Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months. Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!). There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed. VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD. IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.

defi has always been about pushing boundaries not just replicating tradfi, but experimenting with entirely new financial systems in public money markets, perps, options all started as ideas that felt early even pointless to some but that’s kind of the point defi moves because people build ahead of understanding basically bold ideas first n then everything else catches up later.



biggest question for any app rn: how do you reach users outside of crypto? polymarket did it hyperliquid did it some on base did it who next?



At @lorafinance we are actively raising, as early as possible, from Crypto VCs. 30,000 DAUs everyday. Reach out! If we somehow get a VC call after this, we'll deliver the best "no liquidation" option protocol. If not, just know that most VCs dgaf if you aren't in SF or didn't graduate from an Ivy League. All this "actively deploying" is just butterflies masking their winding down phase.
