 * THE FUTURE IS STATELESS
   
   STATELESS VENTURES IS AN EARLY STAGE CRYPTO ASSET INVESTMENT FIRM. WE BACK
   STARTUPS WITH HIGHLY ASYMMETRIC RISK REWARD POTENTIAL. OFTEN, THESE ARE GOOD
   IDEAS THAT START OUT LOOKING LIKE BAD IDEAS. IDENTIFYING THE CROSSOVER
   BETWEEN WHAT THE SMARTEST PEOPLE ARE WORKING ON DURING NIGHTS/WEEKENDS AND
   WHERE THE WORLD IS GOING. WE ARE WITNESSING A CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION OF
   INNOVATION IN FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND WEB ARCHITECTURE. THE FUTURE WEB WILL
   BE MORE DECENTRALIZED, FREE FROM TRUSTED 3RD PARTIES AND MONOPOLY TECH
   GIANTS.
   
    
   
   WE BELIEVE THE INTERNET SHOULD BE MORE EGALITARIAN. BY INVESTING IN STARTUPS
   AND CRYPTO PROTOCOLS, WE INTEND TO BRING ABOUT THAT CHANGE.
