Latin America

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: USV's published firm range is $1 million to $30 million from earliest stage through follow-ons. No personal range is attributed to John, and the firm's investment decision is a collective discussion rather than an individual vote.

John's published investments apply a lawyer-investor lens to regulated markets where analog, repetitive infrastructure blocks access. His work favors portable financial identity, user-controlled credentials, digital-first insurance and legal workflows, and trusted financial brands that broaden affordable access to capital—particularly for underbanked consumers and long-tail merchants in Latin America.

ParaFi Capital

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. ParaFi's private-markets strategy backs early- and growth-stage companies and protocols, but firm AUM and individual transactions should not be converted into a presumed standard ticket or unilateral authority.

Josh focuses on blockchain infrastructure that can replace costly financial plumbing and connect digital assets to large, existing pools of economic activity. His public work highlights stablecoins for cross-border B2B payments, savings and remittances; tokenization and institutional adoption; protocol and application value capture; and capital-markets structures around Bitcoin and crypto treasuries. He evaluates opportunities through addressable volume, concrete workflow pain, distribution and operational implementation.

CoinFund

Check: No standard personal ticket is published. CoinFund's 2026 articles identify the firm as lead on Trace's $32M Series A and Edge Markets' $29M Series A, with George authoring or contributing to the theses; round size is not equivalent to CoinFund's check or George's authority.

George looks for open, permissionless systems that expand financial access and remove cost, delay and gatekeeping from payments and DeFi. His writing starts with sharp workflow pain—especially cross-border settlement, prefunding, last-mile liquidity and fragmented banking rails—then tests whether stablecoins and high-throughput networks produce a simpler product for non-crypto-native users. He also tracks financial rails for prediction markets and other emerging on-chain venues.

Blockchain Capital

Check: No personal check range or unilateral authority is publicly disclosed. Blockchain Capital is a multi-stage investor in equity and crypto assets; its September 2026 NG.CASH article announces a $15M BCAP investment, but that figure is a specific firm investment co-authored with a GP, not Anay's standard ticket.

Anay focuses on the intersection of consumer behavior and crypto. Her work favors products that hide blockchain complexity inside a trusted, culturally native experience: mobile-first financial platforms for underserved young users, stablecoins embedded in existing distribution, and portable social identity that lets communities create specialized software without restarting their networks. At seed, she weights founder character and learning velocity above a rigid initial thesis.

Verda Ventures

Check: Verda's live FAQ says the MiniPay Fund typically invests $100K–$250K initially at earlier stages and $500K–$2M later, seeks roughly 5–10% early ownership and 2–6% later, and can be first check or co-invest. These are current vehicle ranges, not Amit's personal angel checks.

Amit backs fintech companies using stablecoin rails to deliver useful financial products in emerging markets. Verda's MiniPay strategy combines capital with Opera distribution and Celo infrastructure, targeting payments, remittances, identity, banking and consumer applications that can serve underbanked users. The broader thesis is that stablecoins become valuable when embedded invisibly in faster, cheaper and more accessible financial services, not when sold as speculation.
