Managing Partner
Lightspeed Faction
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A using equity and tokens; its fund commitments and disclosed financing totals should not be interpreted as Samuel's standard check.
Samuel backs early crypto infrastructure and protocols that make blockchain useful at scale. His public focus includes wallets, brokerages, developer tools, remittances, stablecoin and payment rails, and other foundational systems. He combines a long-duration belief in blockchain with a pragmatic demand for real utility, technically credible teams, and precise execution through volatile market cycles.
Co-Founder and Partner
Verda Ventures
Check: Verda's live FAQ says the MiniPay Fund typically invests $100K–$250K initially at earlier stages and $500K–$2M later, seeks roughly 5–10% early ownership and 2–6% later, and can be first check or co-invest. These are current vehicle ranges, not Amit's personal angel checks.
Amit backs fintech companies using stablecoin rails to deliver useful financial products in emerging markets. Verda's MiniPay strategy combines capital with Opera distribution and Celo infrastructure, targeting payments, remittances, identity, banking and consumer applications that can serve underbanked users. The broader thesis is that stablecoins become valuable when embedded invisibly in faster, cheaper and more accessible financial services, not when sold as speculation.
