John Buttrick

Venture Partner

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: 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.

John's published investments apply a lawyer-investor lens to regulated markets where analog, repetitive infrastructure blocks access. His work favors portable financial identity, user-controlled credentials, digital-first insurance and legal workflows, and trusted financial brands that broaden affordable access to capital—particularly for underbanked consumers and long-tail merchants in Latin America.

Claude Donzé

Principal

Greenfield Capital

Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. Greenfield invests across private, public, and liquid crypto assets from pre-seed through later stages; disclosed Claude-led financings include Rebind's €1.6M pre-seed, Greenfield's co-lead in Layer3's $15M Series A, and Greenfield's lead in Self's $9M seed. Those round sizes are not Claude's personal allocation authority.

Claude leads Greenfield's consumer investing and backs crypto products that turn mature onchain rails into understandable, trusted consumer experiences. His published work focuses on mobile-native DeFi that hides operational complexity, engagement networks that verifiably connect protocols and users, and privacy-preserving identity that protects human participation as AI agents proliferate. He evaluates both private companies and liquid tokens through product-market fit, token value capture, team execution, macro structure, and network effects.

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. USV invests at the earliest stages and supports companies throughout their journey; investment decisions are made collaboratively by discussion rather than individual vote.

Nick's work connects open, decentralized systems with the infrastructure needed for the next computing cycle. His current 'Rebel Alliance' thesis argues that agentic AI will favor a modular ecosystem around foundation models—spanning orchestration, harnesses, memory, browsers, routing, identity, and payments—because production agents cross services, models, data environments, and trust boundaries.

Woodstock Fund

Check: Woodstock does not publish a personal check range for Prashanth on its site. Third-party databases estimate firm ranges, but those estimates and portfolio round sizes are not treated as evidence of his individual authority.

Prashanth works within Woodstock's research-led early- and growth-stage Web3 strategy. The firm's three lenses are convergence, financialisation, and virtualisation: interoperable infrastructure that links web3 with traditional and emerging technology; regulated, risk-managed financial rails that bring real users and sticky capital onchain; and gaming or creator experiences where virtual ownership improves the product. His institutional background is especially relevant to capital markets, regulation, risk, and the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
