You know, it's like, I'm sure you guys get approached by a ton of founders and builders all the time.

What do, in your point of view, what do founders that do things well do differently when they reach out to VCs?

Yeah, definitely.

And how does CMT digital work and the structure on the other side?

Do you guys have got LPs in your fund or is it proprietary capital of your own?

I mean, of the funds own or yeah.

That's fantastic.

A lot of builders are looking at use cases of AI and blockchain at the moment because, you know, at the consumer level, LLMs have taken so much of attention space.

Where do you see opportunities when it comes to the interaction of blockchain and AI and infrastructure?

Yes.

Absolutely.

A hundred percent agree.

I have, I've interviewed quite a few founders in this space.

Can I share my point of view on this?

Yeah, it's like, so I asked them this, the same question that, you know, when they talk about X402 and all those things, I'm like, they can just use credit cards.

But that works only for certain types of purchases.

And unless you deal in e-commerce or something that you're selling internationally, globally,

people don't realize how much you have to pay to Stripe.

For every transaction is 30 cents.

So microtransactions don't work.
