Find the next unicorn early and exit.
Large, scalable positions in BTC, ETH, and other foundational protocols.
Tiny % stakes in private companies.
Liquid from day one. Can size up or down instantly.

Founder execution and competitive moat.
Volatility and protocol longevity.
Binary — most go to zero, a few win big.

Exit window matters — time pressure on teams & LPs.
Increase AUM + hold conviction positions = exponential compounding.
Access to top deals before others.
