ParaFi Capital

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. ParaFi's private-markets strategy backs early- and growth-stage companies and protocols, but firm AUM and individual transactions should not be converted into a presumed standard ticket or unilateral authority.

Josh focuses on blockchain infrastructure that can replace costly financial plumbing and connect digital assets to large, existing pools of economic activity. His public work highlights stablecoins for cross-border B2B payments, savings and remittances; tokenization and institutional adoption; protocol and application value capture; and capital-markets structures around Bitcoin and crypto treasuries. He evaluates opportunities through addressable volume, concrete workflow pain, distribution and operational implementation.

Hack VC

Check: No personal or standard ticket is published. Hack VC is an earliest-stage investor and its articles identify the firm as leading rounds at pre-seed, seed and Series A; announced round leadership does not reveal Rodney's individual check authority.

Rodney backs technical infrastructure that removes adoption bottlenecks for high-value crypto use cases. His work favors modular, open AI stacks that solve data, compute and availability; stablecoin chains that make the payment asset itself the gas and abstract crypto friction; and DeFi ecosystems whose consensus, liquidity and incentives align applications, validators and users. He looks for strong teams, correct problem selection and evidence of compounding ecosystem traction.
