Founder of Social Graph Ventures Joins Colosseum as Principal

According to Huoxing Finance, Jakub Rusiecki, founder of Social Graph Ventures, posted on X that he has joined Colosseum as a Principal. He stated that he first met Clay Robbins in January 2024, when Colosseum was just launching and preparing to raise its first fund. Rusiecki noted that he has been closely following Clay Robbins, Matty Tay, and Nate Levine since the beginning, observing how the team transformed the Solana hackathon into a startup incubation pipeline. Over the past year, both parties have consistently backed the same early-stage projects and developed aligned views on early-stage investment decisions. Rusiecki also remarked that most current crypto venture capital flows into later-stage rounds, while the next generation of companies often begins as two-person teams and hackathon projects—typically before traditional funds make their investments. Colosseum attracts developers through hackathons, supports founders from the ideation stage via an accelerator, and continues backing breakthrough projects within the accelerator and other startups through its fund. He will review hackathon submissions and plans to attend Breakpoint in London.
