Lookout's read
How Lookout reads this fund.
A rising lead with genuine taste at the crypto-AI frontier — leading Ritual's seed is exactly the decentralized-AI-infra call Lookout watches for. Egan's track record (early Chainalysis, NEAR, Balancer) lends credibility beyond the firm's young age. One of the most interesting emerging-to-Tier-2 shops.
