@Cardano_Prime @alphagrowth1
The first Cardano PRIME cohort is here.
Nine teams, funded to close the biggest gaps in @Cardano DeFi: DEXs, lending, bridges, vaults, real-world assets, and the audits that keep all of it safe.
Here’s who’s building what ↓

I'm excited to launch Relational Capital, a $50m solo GP fund.
I spent the last 8 years as a founder, building @usekojo into the largest US construction procurement platform.
Now I'm backing founders at the earliest stages with $1m-$5m checks.
An abundant future lies ahead 🇺🇸

DeFi must be protected.
Today, @BlockchainAssn and @1inch came together to host Groundwork during DC Fintech Week. Students, academics, industry, and policy pro’s all at the table.
A durable regulatory framework that protects #DeFi will come, and we must engage the next gen who will inherit and help shape its future.

Two of DMV’s finest 🙏💕
Had the pleasure of sitting next to @HesterPeirce at last night’s Cypherpunk Policy Dinner.
There are few people in public service I’ve come to appreciate more. I’ll always remember her support for our industry, her thoughtfulness toward me, and the kindness she showed @LauraSpuller during their time together at the SEC.
For all of that, I remain deeply grateful.

What do we talk about when we talk about privacy? Thrilled to have a full house for @chainlink's @kkirkbos, @0xPredicate's @pumpernikhil, and Julie Lascar from @CantonNetwork's panel!

@1inch Groundwork is in D.C. on purpose.
Seven panels and six roundtables. Speakers from Robinhood Crypto, Uniswap, Circle, Digital Asset, Fireblocks, OpenZeppelin, TRM Labs, Dune, Alchemy and Certik. Faculty from Columbia, NYU, Rutgers and George Mason.
The rules for this industry are being written here. The students who will spend their careers working under those rules are at universities across the city. Groundwork puts both in one room for an afternoon.
I’ll be leading a practical, no-assumptions introduction for attendees newer to the space. Understand what happens when you create a wallet, hold an asset and make an onchain transaction - then complete a first swap together.
📆 OCT 16
📍National Union Building
⏱️ 12:00-6:00PM

I’m excited to be speaking at @1inch Forward: Groundwork, taking place October 16 in Washington, DC, in partnership with the @BlockchainAssn
From DeFi and tokenization to AI agents, financial security, and public policy, Groundwork is bringing together the people building, teaching, and shaping the future of finance.
As the next generation prepares to inherit a rapidly evolving financial system, we need more than conversations about innovation. We need education, collaboration, and real opportunities to participate.
