Polymorphic Capital
Check: No Nataly-specific check size is public. Polymorphic's verified OpenVC-style profile lists firm-level initial bands spanning $250K–$3M, says it can lead, and covers pre-seed through Series B. Treat these as firm guidance rather than Nataly's authority; confirm the relevant partner, current allocation, stage and ownership target after intake.
Nataly's Polymorphic work sits at the application and portfolio-development edge: finding and supporting products that use web3 infrastructure to transform markets beyond crypto-native users, particularly social, payments, finance, data and AI. Her independent research lens maps entire technology stacks and searches for the bottleneck or value-capture layer—such as training data, packaging capacity, safety certification, integration, agent payment rails or the software/hardware split—while distinguishing headline market sizes from more reliable directional signals.
General Partner
Lightspeed Faction
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through both equity and tokens; the firm's reported fund size and company round totals are not Banafsheh's personal range.
Banafsheh backs early blockchain companies and token networks that create fundamental utility. Her public discussions emphasize the infrastructure or 'plumbing' of crypto, globally relevant financial systems, and matching an application to the chain whose security, performance, and ecosystem fit its use case. Her personal motivation is informed by seeing how broken banking and state-controlled money affect people outside stable financial systems.
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.
Technical Partner
Lightspeed Faction
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through equity and tokens; its fund size and portfolio rounds are not Raymond's personal allocation parameters.
As Faction's Technical Partner, Raymond evaluates early blockchain companies across the stack, from base infrastructure to applications. The safest evidence-supported interpretation of his mandate is technical diligence on whether a protocol is fundamentally useful, securely designed, and executable by a team capable of balancing a frontier vision with precise delivery.
Founding Partner
Collider Ventures
Collider says it is "shaping the future of the decentralized internet" through a contrarian, strictly non-consensus approach. The firm is doubling down on crypto and Israel while backing builders in Israel and globally across core web3 categories.
