Our vision for the web is that it becomes more decentralised, immutable and permanent. We want to support entrepreneurs upgrading the internet.

The empowerment of users: entrepreneurs have long been democratising technology; that, in turn is democratising capabilities, empowering users and organisations to do things they couldn’t before, or do them a lot better, cheaper and faster. Over time these enabling technologies can evolve into meaningful platforms and / or networks. Even though a lot of empowerment has happened through desktop and mobile internet, we think we are just getting started.

The liberation of data: entrepreneurs can make data more free, usable, portable and positively influence the balance of power over data. We think a lot of interesting things will happen at the intersection of control, value and meaning from data for both individuals and organisations.

So we are trying not to think of the world too much in terms of specific sectors — but rather what the macro level economic and social changes are that technology is driving. There are a few other things we are excited about and we’ll make sure to keep an open mind. And of course we are most excited about the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs every day. This is why we get out of bed in the morning and don’t mind chewing through a topic on 2am on a Saturday morning.

At its core BlueYard is a product for entrepreneurs, everything follows from that. That is our guiding principle.

AngelPad is a seed-stage accelerator program based in NYC and San Francisco. Since 2010 we have launched more than 130 companies. Every 6 months we select about 15 teams from a huge pool of applicants (usually around 2000) to work with us. While other accelerators have decided to “scale” and take on more and more companies or launch more and more cities, we have stayed true to our original goal: Find awesome companies with founders we like to work with and spend three very intense months with them. This focus has paid off, we have risen to be the #1 Accelerator in the U.S. (based on a real study from MIT/Brown University) and Strictly VC called us the “Anti-Y Combinator“. During the program, we work on everything from finding product market fit, defining a target market to getting first validation for the company. We are also instrumental in helping companies prepare for fundraising and of course for investor meetings.

Titan Crypto is the first actively managed crypto strategy available to all U.S. investors, that we believe are positioned for outstanding long-term returns with minimal correlation to U.S. equities and with attractive hedging qualities.

Our Investment Team conducts deep fundamental and quantitative research to identify what we believe to be the highest quality cryptoassets for the next 3-5+ years.

We then construct a concentrated yet balanced portfolio of these cryptoassets with strict risk controls to screen out cryptoassets which we believe entail outsized risks around custody, liquidity, regulatory, and other concerns.

We actively manage the weights of each cryptoasset in this portfolio based on the evolution of each cryptoasset’s utility, adoption, and price action.

This includes regular rebalancing and tactical trading during periods of excess volatility to maximize reward/risk.

Titan Crypto is available to all U.S. investors – there is no accreditation requirement.
