Hey Jeffrey,
It looks like LedgerX is trying to raise a series B at around 6M, and they need a $1m lead to trigger other commitments. You
can see the pitch deck below. Basically, they need to raise $1M for operations in their series B + $5m for a CFTC collateral
(they already have approval).
The startup seems to have a pretty good team, Bryan Bishop is one of the sharpest Bitcoin guys out there (basically the
walking bitcoin encyclopedia). Two of the founders are MIT alums/GS alums and they have good talent on the regulatory
side. What I've heard is that Coinbase is trying to acquire them because they are short on operational money now, so they
are looking to close this by end of month or might be acquired. To me (and to Bryan), this seems like a bad thing for Bitcoin
because it allows coinbase to "Advance to GO" on the regulatory side, which would put them in a place to push some of the
unfavorable policies they like.
I'm going to go by tomorrow and check out their HO/see some of their tech.
Is this the kind of thing you'd be interested in investing in? When I visit tomorrow are their any questions you'd like me to
ask?
Also, to discuss an elephant in the room, how would investment get to them? Some people don't like certain associations,
deservedly or not. Is your name good with the CFTC?
Best,
Jeremy
