I'm backing @kolelee_ to build Vigil as a generational company.
I met Kole on campus in the deep bear of 2023. In a world where everyone was shilling AI, Kole was still willing to be the contrarian that still held conviction in crypto.
Kole became my brother-in-arms as we took on the crusade of revitalizing @StanfordCrypto and I had the pleasure of introducing him to the @PanteraCapital family - first as an intern and now as a portfolio founder.
From convincing Stanford to buy BTC at 46k, to SOL at <20, to HYPE and even Fartcoin, I've learnt that whenever Kole has deep conviction in something, some magic is bound to happen.
Vigil is just the latest iteration of that - a deep seated conviction that AI will not only reimagine trading, but more importantly introduce entirely new categories of asset managers â "bionic traders" that are augmented by machines, a cybernetic vision that values human conviction as much as AI information sourcing.
Could not be more excited to back this company.
Bullish Vigil.
Bullish Kole.
In middle school, with money earned performing magic shows I opened my first investment account.
At Stanford, captivated by the markets, I realized a paradigm shift was on the horizon.
Today, I am excited to announce our $5.7M raise, led by @novaholdings.
With the developments in AI, I knew I could no longer wait to start @vigillabs. At Vigil, we are building the engine to understand markets in realtime, designed for our own traders.
