Borderless Capital
No summary available yet.
Borderless went all-in on Algorand when others were chain-agnostic, creating hyper-specialized funds like a $10M NFT-only fund and green-data token ecosystem fund. Now they're the most visible DePIN specialist VC with three dedicated funds and operator expertise from Helium's co-founder. Sean Carey's backstory about joining after a bad investor 'killed a great company' signals they genuinely care about founder experience. The CTF Capital acquisition added AI-driven quant trading and MEV capabilities to their $500M+ AUM, showing institutional sophistication. No founder reviews exist yet on BOUND, but their operator backgrounds and specialized thesis suggest they know what they're talking about in infrastructure plays. Watch for their Latin America expansion and institutional treasury plays.
