Check: No personal check-size range is published. Public seed, Series A, and later financing amounts are company-level transaction sizes and are not a defensible proxy for Guy's individual range or allocation authority.
Guy invests across the crypto stack with a technical focus on infrastructure, DeFi, and decentralized physical infrastructure. He looks for blockchains to coordinate markets that centralized intermediaries serve poorly—compute, energy, telecom, transportation, credit, and global finance—and for open protocols whose incentives unlock latent capacity, lower coordination costs, and compound through interoperability and composability.

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.
VENTURE PARTNER
Blockchain Capital
Check: No personal or venture-partner check range is published. Blockchain Capital's announced financing rounds and Tare's seed round are transaction sizes, not a reliable proxy for Lucas's individual authority.
Lucas specializes in rebuilding credit and capital markets on shared blockchain infrastructure. His operating record points to tokenized funds, real-world assets, institutional DeFi, and end-to-end lending systems that reduce reconciliation and intermediary costs. He emphasizes that tokenization alone is insufficient: assets need credible legal and operational structures, actual buyer demand, liquidity, and composable market infrastructure for lending and trading.
