That is, until we met the Agora team. We got very excited by a combination of elements: (1) 🪓 Clear product wedge: their stablecoin AUSD will be institutional-grade & compliance-first, and focus on open partnerships across the ecosystem instead of the rent-seeking and closed-partner models of today (2) ⏬ Matching go-to-market strategy: top-down, institutional-focused & partner-based (3) 🤝 The perfect founding team: a marriage of Wall Street and Defi to get the right network of partners together and cold-start this open partnership model It’s a privilege to be part of this journey, and be investing with friends in the industry Dragonfly, General Catalyst, Hack VC, Breed & more. Let’s go! 🚀
