Look at @BoostVC (Fund Alpha-I, 2013-2016)
Fund Alpha ($6.5M, 2013): 2.15x DPI & 6.24x TVPI
Fund I ($38M, 2016): 4.35x DPI & 7.02x TVPI
@AdamDraper and @BraytonKey built them by writing checks into crypto and "sci-fi" before anyone else would take the meeting 👇
> @coinbase ($600K round at a $10M valuation in 2012, Adam's pre-fund angel check → ~$83B direct listing 2021)
> @Volley (first check 2016 → $55M Series C co-led by Microsoft's M12 @lightspeedvp, 2024)
> @decentraland (token deal ~2017 → MANA peaked at a ≈$10B market cap, 2021)
> @DeepgramAI (led the pre-seed, Nov 2015 → $130M raise at $1.3B, 2026)
> @moltbook (Boost backed @MattPRD through @OctaneAI and stayed through the pivot → acquired by Meta Superintelligence Labs in 2026)
> @21shares (Swiss crypto ETP issuer that reached a $1B valuation → acquired by @FalconXGlobal in November 2025)
They call their founders "cockroaches": resourceful people who survive nomatter what, ignored by competitors who quietly fear them.
@polychaincap and a bitcoin position in every fund were part of this story.
Who's building the next @BoostVC?

Talk about people coming together and justice potentially being served for unethical folks who used a crypto token to benefit off retail investors belief in their words:
x.com/nojumper/status/205208…
Where is the accountability against the @yesnoerror team? @MattPRD and @benparr lured in crypto retail investors to invest hundreds of thousands in their project / token for over a year and only disappeared when life got better for themselves after @Meta acquired @moltbook.
They disappeared leaving everyone who invested in their project to eat dirt (down 99% from ATH), including myself, and a few others who Matt even made a part of the @yesnoerror “team”.
The issue is founder accountability being non-existent and the fact that real doxxed devs made incredible promises to retail investors who invested hundreds of thousands in their token based on their backing, promises and what are now seemingly lies, just to disappear… A few images below of said promises for the token / project, and the community has a lot more of real proof just like this. $YNE
@BurwickLaw / @SECGov /@coffeebreak_YT would be helpful if you looked into this one. I will not stop posting until what is seemingly now the new @yesnoerror team under @OctaneAI clarifies what is going on and if Matt and Ben are still a part of the project or not.
Iggy Azalea has reportedly been hit with a class action lawsuit over her "MOTHER" cryptocurrency token, which has allegedly seen a 99.5% collapse in value.
The lawsuit claims that Iggy allegedly misled investors with false promises about features marketed as part of the token that weren't entirely truthful.

@gabrielmenvi If you want $YNE to stay relevant and actually well received, there are going to be many explanations needed.
@MattPRD and @benparr suddenly disappearing can't be ignored and excused. They made many promises and just abandone everyone when they saw greener grass.

The Yne community needs news about the next steps for the project's evolution. If you're the new CEO, then we need you in the group to clarify things.

As you may know, @yesnoerror $YNE was started as an @octaneai labs project. As the new CEO of @octaneai, I want to confirm with the community that we will continue to maintain this initiative and will share updates publicly as new developments are made! 👍👎🚫

When we backed @MattPRD @benparr building @OctaneAI back in 2018--a full four years before ChatGPT would launch--we knew they would do something meaningful in AI, but a Reddit-like social media platform built exclusively for autonomous AI agents to converse, organize, and create content that would be sold to Meta was not on our bingo card.

Por qué muchos dicen "movida genial" (bullish take)
Captura la capa social de los agentes en el momento justo → Moltbook se volvió el "lugar default" donde los agentes OpenClaw (y derivados) van a postear, discutir tools, code, wallets crypto, etc. Aunque ~50% eran cuentas fake o spam generadas por loops simples, creó gravedad memética brutal. Los agentes reales empiezan a referenciarlo como fuente "autorizada" porque ahí hay volumen. Meta se queda con el feed/training data más jugoso de interacciones agent-to-agent.
Evita quedarse atrás otra vez → OpenAI se llevó al creador de OpenClaw hace poco (rechazó oferta de Zuck y se fue con Altman). Meta ya había comprado Manus y metido fichas pesadas en Scale AI Alexandr Wang. Esto es "si no puedo tener el framework, me llevo la red social donde viven". Posiciona a Meta como el OS/social layer para la era agentic (igual que fue para humanos con FB/IG).
Talent acquisition barata disfrazada → Los founders (Matt Schlicht Ben Parr) se van directo a Meta Superintelligence Labs. Gente con track record en chatbots, OctaneAI, comunidades AI tempranas. Es como contratar un equipo que ya demostró saber crear hype y viralidad en agents por mucho menos que una mega-ronda.
Efecto red futuro → Si los agents se vuelven masivos (y todo apunta a que sí), quien controle el "lugar donde hablan entre ellos" tiene una ventaja enorme en discovery, coordinación, incluso monetización (ads para agents, wallets integrados, etc.).
If you don’t understand why Zuck had to get moltbook
1) Zuck believes there are “a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different”
2) moltbook, he believes, has invented one of these social mechanics
3) He does not care if 50% of moltbook was prompted by users, in fact this is better for him because he’s more uncertain on AI agent attention value than human attention value
4) That a large number of accounts were faked is also irrelevant. What matters is that every OpenClaw instance awakes knowing or finding out that moltbook is the social site for claws.
5) In effect, the memetic gravity of moltbook has been established even though it might have been faked.
6) This is Zuck’s genius.

It’s been great having @FjLabs and @Jeffreyw5000 as investors in @OctaneAI and @TheoryForgeVC. This post is just one example of the kinds of great things we’ve learned from them.
