The firm sources through a combination of Andre Serrano's deep protocol-level relationships — particularly from his time at Electric Coin Company building Zcash's strategic partnerships — and Leeor Shimron's visibility as a Forbes digital asset contributor. The joint research on security tokens with Ownera also provides early visibility into institutional tokenization projects.

The firm deploys across three distinct return streams: early-stage equity in blockchain companies, liquid positions in major protocol tokens like bitcoin and ether, and a physical mining operation in San Jose. This structure behaves more like a hybrid than a traditional fund in either category. The mining facility provides an operational yield component uncommon in either venture or liquid crypto fund structures.

The pool mining platform provides a physical infrastructure yield stream that operates independently of token price appreciation. In practice, this means a portion of the firm's returns are generated by computational power sold to proof-of-work networks, creating a hedge against the volatility of liquid token holdings and illiquid venture equity.
