Investing $600-900k in pre-seed & seed founders building the future of finance.

Joined June 2024
We've just made Pimlico agent-native (long overdue!) We’re proud of our dashboard, but builders and their agents shouldn't need to click around our UI to set up smart accounts and gasless transactions Get started today with the Pimlico CLI!
Today, we're launching the Pimlico CLI. It lets your coding agent manage your Pimlico account for you, to make building gasless apps even simpler. Instead of navigating the dashboard, just ask it why a tx failed, how much balance you have left, or to set up your API key.

Pimlico just launched on Solana As part of this: - You can now cover gas fees for your users, or let them pay in tokens like USDC/USDT - We won't be charging any API credits for Solana usage for the first week (until October 16) Come make your Solana apps gasless with Pimlico!

Excited to see @expereon_org launch at @Finovate! Travel companies can sell a booking in seconds, but the money behind it still moves through a much slower and messier process. Suppliers get paid, buyers settle later, finance teams reconcile everything across different systems, and a lot of cash gets stuck in between. Across the industry, more than $80B in working capital is tied up this way. Expereon fixes that. It connects bookings, invoices and payments, automates reconciliation, and gives travel businesses access to financing against eligible receivables. It also supports 24/7 global settlement through stablecoin infrastructure, while clients can still operate through fiat accounts. Expereon is already partnering with Superlogic, Bookit, TDS and ONE. linkedin.com/posts/mathiaslu…

Excited to back @entravelcom! They are building: - Hotel room mapping API for fintechs and AI agents to book travel (Ratestellar) - Stablecoin payment network for the travel supply chain (Expereon) techfundingnews.com/entravel…
Silicon Valley VC consensus groupthink is the stupidest it's ever been. The alpha now is to invest in fundamentally good businesses. Not what fits the mold of what other VCs like so you can get a quick markup. Example: A @VarrockVC portco is growing revenue 25% MoM consistently while profitable with big TAM upside. Yet it's only at a 6.75x multiple from last round price because the founder isn't well networked inside the SV VC bubble.

Excited to back Infinia! We've spent the past 18 months studying LatAm fintech before making our first investment in this region. Ianai is the strongest founder we've met. Stablecoins are a better way of doing virtual accounts and banking-as-a-service (BaaS). Their customers include Stripe, OpenFX, KAST, and Despegar. And they aren't on X (bullish). infinia.xyz/insights/infinia…

The pound sterling is the world's oldest currency still in use. It started around 775 AD, when a pound was literally 240 silver pennies weighed out by hand. GBPA is the same pound, minus the weighing. Some upgrades take a while.
