FOUNDATIONS FOR THE
OPEN DIGITAL ECONOMY.

Foundational protocols, intelligent applications, and immersive digital experiences—backed with flexible structures and operational support.

Our Thesis

Long-term capital for founders at the intersection of technology and finance, investing in the foundations of the open digital economy.

The newer Cherry Street site uses the long-term-capital positioning above. The original site separately describes a “World’s First Tokenized Liquid Venture Fund,” investing across the crypto stack and NFTs with rapid liquidity and historical checks up to $250K “and growing.” These are preserved as distinct statements, not merged into one claim.

Investment Criteria

Category-defining vision

Infrastructure and consumer applications shaping how people interact, transact, and build online.

Strong technical foundation

Deep engineering and a clear technical moat, especially blockchain protocols, developer tooling, AI, and privacy.

Operational readiness

A credible product roadmap, go-to-market strategy, and disciplined execution.

Vertical alignment

The technology/finance intersection, core infrastructure, and consumer-facing innovation.

Flexible structures

Equity, token, or hybrid investments emphasizing long-term alignment, value capture, and thoughtful token economics.

Global scalability

Global ambition, especially the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

More Than Capital

Operational expertise

Hands-on support informed by operating and investment experience.

Network access

A stated network of VCs, founders, investment bankers, and journalists.

Full-cycle guidance

Strategic guidance from pre-seed through late-stage growth; this describes support, not a claim that every stage is an investment target.

Data-driven insight

Market intelligence and on-chain analytics to inform decisions.
