Awaken (crypto taxes)

Power user turned Angel. 

Thesis of investment: Since every onchain transaction is taxable, crypto taxes are hard. Awaken makes it easy.

Angel Investor

OtoCo

Sourced deal through cold DM to co-founder. 

Thesis of investment: Most wealth resides in entities like businesses or trusts, not personal accounts. Since every onchain transaction is taxable, structuring your wallet as an entity can provide better tax treatment and asset protection. Wallets are naturally becoming vehicles for holding and moving digital assets, so creating an entity for them feels logical. Otoco simplifies this process, enabling anyone to set up an onchain entity in minutes.

Intuition

Introduced founding team that won EthDenver hackathon leading to an eventual $4M fundraise. 

Investment thesis: I'm a TCR (Token Curated Registry) maxi. As AI becomes more prevalent the world's information needs a semantic discovery engine. Intuition aims to decentralize the curation, discovery and monetization of this knowledge graph.
