Lookout's read

How Lookout reads this fund.

Europe's most credible crypto-native fund, with an early-mover edge and a sharp infra thesis — Celestia and Gensyn show they front-run modular and decentralized-AI-compute narratives. Fund III's $107M is modest by US standards, so they win on conviction and timing, not check size.

Fund thesis

What they back.

Back founders redefining ownership through open crypto networks, concentrating on infrastructure protocols, DeFi primitives and Web3 apps from pre-seed through Series A.
