Investment Thesis
ZK proofs, privacy infrastructure, developer tooling. Privacy is a fundamental right and crypto's key unsolved problem.
What Excites Them
ZK proofs, privacy-preserving computation, developer-friendly ZK tooling
What They Pass On
Privacy as afterthought, centralized "privacy" solutions
How to Pitch
Show novel cryptographic approaches and how ZK enables new use cases.
Key Frameworks
Privacy as Infrastructure
Privacy is a fundamental infrastructure layer that enables new categories of applications
Notable Writing
Fully homomorphic encryption will unlock private smart contracts and on-chain computation.
Overview of the zero-knowledge proof ecosystem
ZK proofs will transform blockchain scalability and privacy simultaneously.
