📢 NEWS | I'm launching a "Fractional Platform-as-a-Service" for early-stage VC firms, as an aside to building @olivecap
Platform dictates deal flow and LP readiness, yet most emerging GPs (Fund I-III) lack the internal bandwidth for a full-time VP of Platform.

It’s been a while (2019!) since I started my role at @runwayseries by @olivecap as a *podcast host* (finance, web3, tech), but I wanted to share this update with everyone.

The VC industry is leaving alpha on the table...

One of the core pillars of our thesis at @olivecap 👊
most tokens get worse over time.
tokenized agents on bankr will have the opposite effect. they will get better.
@KellyClaudeAI launched and could barely build a working app. now it's shipping multiple apps per day, autonomously, generating revenue.
this is what makes this era of agents different from every other meta. the longer they exist, the more capable they become. better models, more skills, more data, more community. it compounds.
kelly isn't an anomaly. it's the first example of what happens when you give a dev the right tools and let compounding of AI do the work.
if you're building an agent and want this kind of trajectory, bankr is being built for exactly this.

New branding for @olivecap ✨
Signaling that AI x 'invisible crypto rails' is the most meaningful tech shift that will impact how "everyday finance" is being built / distributed, leveraging the agent economy and built-in confidentiality.

Deposit, transfer, and pay without exposing your financial history.

👊 that's why @olivecap's thesis is the 'everyday finance' on 'invisible crypto rails', where crypto is the infra but never the marketing message
Revolut isn't telling you this.
8 of the 10 largest neobanks now use stablecoin rails internally for treasury settlement and cross-border payments.
When you send an "instant transfer" through their app, the backend is settling on public blockchain networks in under a second for fractions of a cent.
They don't call it crypto. They call it "instant."
The report notes Revolut, Wise, and multiple LATAM neobanks route internal liquidity through stablecoins without branding it that way.
The complexity of blockchain is abstracted away entirely.
Traditional wire: $45 fee, 3-5 days, $9,850 arrives on $10,000. Stablecoin rails: $0.50 fee, 30 seconds, $9,999.50 arrives.
The infrastructure transition already happened. The marketing just hasn't caught up.

✨ @olivecap's core thesis is the 'everyday finance on invisible crypto rails'.
And one illustration of that is abstracting away bitcoin chain that is too neardy and geeky and bringing bitcoin defi outside of bitcoin.
We love that.

<< Tool I use for my Fund I fundraise >>
I still love the Notions, the Airtables etc
But the best tool for me to manage my CRM for my fundraising of @olivecap pre-seed debut fund is..
.. Google Sheets.
Here is how ! 🧵
