North Island Ventures
Check: $500K–$5M for early-stage companies, published on NIV's current portfolio page. This is a firm range, not a personal signing limit or promise from Greg.
Greg invests within NIV's enabling-technology thesis: as AI makes intelligence abundant, back the scarce complements that compound—financial rails for machines, sovereignty over assets and data, trusted distribution, physical infrastructure and hard-to-replicate institutions. His Galaxy investing and entertainment operating experience provide a lens on crypto markets, consumer attention and distribution, but no individual sector mandate is publicly stated.

Check: $500K–$5M for early-stage companies, according to NIV's current portfolio page. This is the firm's published range, not Kushagra's personal approval limit.
Kushagra invests within NIV's abundance-meets-scarcity framework across agentic finance, sovereign AI, new markets and frontier institutions. His mix of liquid-crypto research, venture scouting and payments product work is particularly relevant to projects that must connect token economics and market structure to a usable product, although NIV has not published an individual mandate for him.
