Frequently asked questions
How does Factor Capital source proprietary deal flow?
The firm relies on Dwyer's nearly two-decade operator network and his record of investing in close to 100 early-stage companies. Factor's published strategy essays — on topics like the operator gap, MCP interfaces, and crypto-energy convergence — function as inbound marketing that attracts founders aligned with its thesis. Sourcing blends institutional crypto relationships from Dwyer's GSR tenure with operator-to-operator referrals.
