I was able to constantly learn from and work with countless amazing people. I&#8217;m grateful to my current and former colleagues at Scalar for getting us to where we are today, the LPs and GPs who trusted us with their capital early on, the incredible founders who allowed us to support their companies, and many co-investors who have been a pleasure to work with.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nothing changes in terms of me continuing to support Scalar portfolio companies and it&#8217;s the part that I enjoyed the most about being an investor. The main thing that changes is Scalar won&#8217;t be deploying new capital going forward.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">As for what\u2019s next, I couldn&#8217;t be more excited and energized to be working with @pirosb3 on something new in the crypto space, which we\u2019ll share more on once ready.
