You need to stop coding, building, recruiting, fund raising, etc., and take stock of what changed around you. Or your company will die. I just had coffee with Chris, a startup founder I invested in six years ago. Since then he’s been heads-down focused working on 1) a complex autonomy problem, 2) in an existing market with 3) a unique business model. Chris is now starting to raise his first large fundraising…

Kraken 360 is built for this phase. It provides integrated post-TGE infrastructure spanning custody, staking delegation, exchange partnerships, Flexline treasury financing, and programmatic distribution, backed by Kraken’s MiCA authorization across the…

The war with Iran has caused oil prices to rise considerably. It is difficult to know how long higher prices will remain. The Committee…
