The Spartan Group
Check: No personal check-size or allocation authority is published. Spartan Capital manages liquid, DeFi, gaming/metaverse, and market-neutral funds; the firm's $500M stated AUM and portfolio activity are not a personal check range for José.
José researches and evaluates liquid and protocol opportunities for Spartan Capital. His work focuses on crypto becoming financial infrastructure: stablecoin adoption, yield markets, institutional use of public DeFi, tokenized equities and commodities, high-performance onchain exchanges, intents, and autonomous-agent payments. He pairs narrative inflection points with measurable supply, transfer volume, fees, TVL, open interest, protocol revenue, and live institutional usage.
Investor
Blockchain Capital
Check: No personal check range or deal authority is disclosed. Jonah is an Investor focused on research and new opportunities at a multi-stage firm; public work and academic research demonstrate thesis depth, not a standard individual ticket.
Jonah studies where value and power accrue as crypto infrastructure matures. He argues that open rails can unbundle closed payment networks; user-owning applications can compress infrastructure margins; software agents may erase human-facing UX moats or create entirely new machine activity; and corporate-controlled chains impose platform and distribution risks on builders. His technical work extends to MEV, execution tickets and protocol value distribution.
