Excited to support its latest $15M seed round raise led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Lightspeed Faction, Mark Cuban, Alpha Edison, Motley Fool Ventures, Techstars, and others to secure digital identity in the age of AI and redefine how authenticity is verified online. We were among TransCrypts’ earliest backers, and it’s been inspiring to watch their growth—now trusted by 450+ enterprises and over 4 million users across employment, healthcare, and education records. As AI-generated content and deepfake threats accelerate, TransCrypts is building the trusted identity infrastructure the digital world needs.

Super excited Tabs team! You guys are truly transforming the future of finance! cc: Alumni Ventures, Triphammer Ventures (an Alumni Ventures Fund) #AI #Finance
This week at Tabs, we bought Tabs.com. It took 18 months to secure the one word dot com domain. Our longest deal cycle yet, but one worth every step. The story to get it done is one for the ages. The TLDR is a combination of being diligent, patient and lucky. Since the start of the year, our team has been heads down rebuilding our brand, website, and identity from the ground up. Our ambition is clear: to win in what we believe is the most overlooked and underserved area of finance: Revenue (Data Ingest, Billing, Rev Rec, Reporting). To tell that story right, our marketing, product, and design teams reimagined everything: new brand guidelines, logo, and website to capture how AI is solving real finance problems today, and where it’s headed in an Agentic Future of Finance Singularity. This is a hard, multi-year mission. Finance teams are rightfully diligent as they embrace this next wave of innovation. Trust matters. Tabs.com is a step in that direction. Customers, partners, candidates, you can email me directly: ali@tabs.com Kudos to Together on Brand/Website and Hobi Michalec who ran a masterclass as our broker for the domain. Onwards.

Most AI startups build tools for incumbents — copilots, plugins, dashboards. But the next wave is skipping the sales cycle entirely, creating full-stack AI companies that don’t just serve professionals… they become the professionals. From law firms to media agencies and scientific labs, these startups are rebuilding industries from the ground up with AI at the core. This is more than tech — it’s a shift in business model, defensibility, and ambition. Watch the full webinar to explore why this moment is defining the next decade of startups: https://lnkd.in/eitPGk-U #AlumniVentures #AIStartups #FullStackAI #VentureCapital #Innovation #DisruptiveTech #Entrepreneurship #DecacornHunting

Thanks Paul Veradittakit, Franklin Bi and Cosmo Jiang from Pantera Capital for the invitation to this year’s Pantera Summit. What an inspiring and energizing mix of founders, investors, and innovators driving the future of digital finance! Key themes from the Summit that stood out: 🔹 Stablecoins evolving from payment tools into programmable liquidity layers. 🔹 Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) bridging token economies with traditional corporate balance sheets. 🔹 Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization unlocking on-chain access to traditional assets such as bonds, credit, and real estate. 🔹 Wall Street integration accelerating as regulated bridges form between TradFi and blockchain markets. It was great catching up with Sean (Xiang) Ren from Sahara AI and Zain Zaidi from TransCrypts , two of our portfolio founders featured at the Summit whose work truly captures the spirit of this ecosystem. From decentralized AI networks to blockchain-based credential verification, their visions reflect how quickly we’re moving toward a world where data, identity, and capital are programmable. We continue to march toward an on-chain economy — one built on transparency, interoperability, and innovation, one block at a time. Grateful to be part of such thoughtful discussions and bold ideas!
