Protagonist, a Miami, FL-based crypto fund and incubation lab supporting foundational protocols in emerging blockchain ecosystems, has launched its debut $100 million fund.
With this fund, Protagonist is focused on investing and incubating early-stage companies in markets including gaming, infrastructure, emerging blockchains and ecosystems, security and privacy.
Led by Dylan Macalinao, Ian Macalinao, George Bousis, and Harry Hurst, Protagonist is already working closely with a number of companies to provide the support, capital, and expertise required to bring their products to market, including contributing code and refining their token models. It is also developing and incubating its own protocols in-house. Initial portfolio companies include:
- Aptos – a new, independent project focused on building the safest and most scalable Layer 1 blockchain.
- Cardinal – a Solana Protocol that enables the conditional ownership of NFTs to power the future of NFT utility through rentals, subscriptions, staking, tickets and more.
- Cogni- which provides transparent and accessible digital banking and lifestyle services on a single platform.
