I backed @fairmint because I believed the future of equity would be onchain.
Today, that vision is becoming reality. Real shares, real ownership, 24/7 markets.
Congratulations to the @fairmint team! The future of capital markets is being built! 🚀

A public company is bringing its own shares onchain.
@CantonStrategic (NASDAQ: CNTN) has selected Fairmint as its Onchain Transfer Agent, with trading planned on TSV via @CantonNetwork.
Fairmint will maintain its official shareholder register onchain.

Here's the thing about fundraising that nobody talks about:
Many VCs won't even look at your deck unless someone they trust sends it to them.
At @DraperVC any founder can pitch us directly through our site.
We've already made 3 investments this year from founders who just... showed up in our inbox.
But here's what I keep seeing...
Founders spend weeks perfecting their pitch deck, only to receive their first real feedback when they're sitting across from an investor.
That's like practicing your wedding speech in front of the wedding guests.
So we built something called PitchLens.
It's an AI pitch coach trained on how we actually evaluate deals at Draper.
It'll tell you:
→ Where your story gets confusing
→ Which slides aren't pulling their weight
→ How to tighten your narrative before you hit send
We're still tweaking PitchLens based on founder feedback. What would make this most useful for you?

JUST IN: Billionaire Tim Draper says it's now irresponsible for companies to not hold bitcoin.
"Because when Silicon Valley Bank went out of business, we almost saw the domino effect, we almost lost all the banks." 👀

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s irresponsible to not own bitcoin.
First, companies will say, “We accept bitcoin.”
Then, they’ll say, “We only accept bitcoin.”
Then people will not value dollars or fiat, and there will be a run on the banks.
Eventually, the world will never be the same.
The individuals and companies that are ready for the seismic shift will come out ahead.
Those that are left holding legacy currency will not.

Draper Associates has been named to @Inc.'s 2026 Founder-Friendly Investors list!
This one means something specific: Inc. builds the list from what founders say about the investors who backed them.
Our formula has not changed in four generations: back missionaries, not mercenaries.
Fund the wacky and weird before the world understands it. Then get out of the way and let the founders do the impressive part.
63 unicorns and 400+ companies backed, and the part we are proudest of is that the people we backed would say it again.
Thank you to every founder who vouched for us. The credit runs the other way. 🤝

@Forbes just named me one of America's greatest living optimists. #76! It was a huge honor.
After all, while pessimists might be “right” for the time being, optimists do everything that drives progress.
All the great successes I know are huge optimists.
Supporting optimism is my life.
Free email sounded crazy to pessimists. But Hotmail was built by optimists, Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith.
Free phone calls and video calls sounded even crazier to pessimists. But Skype was born by optimists, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Fries.
An electric car company and a private space company? Crazier still to a pessimist, but Tesla and SpaceX were built by the biggest optimist anywhere, Elon Musk.
Satoshi Nakamoto is an optimist, willing to transform the entire global economy with a trusted 3rd party in software around Bitcoin.
Every one of those started with an entrepreneur painting a picture of a world nobody had seen yet. My job was just to believe in the world they were creating, and to say yes to them and encourage them forward.
So the award really belongs to the founders. They supply the optimism. I just keep buying it.
