Pre-Pitch Briefing

Mike Tomaino

Partner at 1confirmation

Check size: Not publicly disclosed. Public databases show 1confirmation joining early-stage crypto rounds, but round size should not be mistaken for the firm's check size.

Their Thesis

Mike is a Partner at 1confirmation, whose published mandate is to support exceptional early-stage founders fueling decentralization of the web and society. In the absence of attributable personal commentary, this profile intentionally uses only that firm-level thesis and does not infer a personal sector specialty, portfolio, or decision framework.

How to Pitch Them

Establish fit with 1confirmation's early-stage decentralization mandate. Explain the useful product, the technical or social innovation, why an open network is necessary, who uses it today, and why the founding team will sustain conviction before a clear market narrative forms. Do not rely on token price or broad crypto-market momentum as the core case.

What Excites Them

At the firm level, 1confirmation seeks exceptional founders building useful, meaningfully innovative products that decentralize the web and society and can endure beyond a short-lived market narrative.

What They Pass On

No personal pass criteria are public. The firm's published and publicly discussed lens disfavors marketing-led crypto narratives without useful products, authentic technical or social innovation, or long-term founder conviction.

Key Frameworks

Firm-level utility-over-narrative screen

A clearly labeled 1confirmation house lens: prefer useful, authentic, socially or technically novel crypto products with long-term founder conviction over polished narratives unsupported by use.
