No Lucas-specific check range is public. A current OpenVC search profile lists Kosmos at $100K–$1M, while Kosmos's own live material confirms Seed/Pre-Seed as its co-building focus but publishes no check size. Treat $100K–$1M as third-party firm guidance only; confirm allocation, instrument, ownership and decision-maker directly with Lucas and the team.

No Ryan-specific venture check range is public. For RockawayX's Catapult program, the firm says it writes first checks into RWA-yield founders and can add anchor TVL, liquidity, DeFi integrations and mentorship; founders should ask directly about round-specific sizing.

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.

Michael's lens combines markets research with Colosseum's tournament-style venture funnel: use global hackathons and four-week build sprints to observe which founders ship, learn and attract users bef

Colosseum's published accelerator investment is $250K pre-seed for accepted teams; it is a program-level standard, not Michael's personal discretionary check. Current materials say hackathon winners are interviewed and considered, with accepted teams receiving capital, mentorship and network access. Earlier official content described 7% terms; founders must verify the current instrument, percentage and token/equity structure.

$500K–$1M, from a current public ether.fi Ventures fundraising statement. The live site positions Fund I at pre-seed through Series A and publishes ventures@ether.fi. Confirm allocation, instrument, ownership target and whether the fund will lead; the current site says $20M committed capital while the April 2025 launch post described $40M, so fund-size headlines should not be used to infer check capacity.
