Capital with Purpose

Returns with Velocity

Note: While our 3-year historic IRR stood at a solid 26%, the breakthrough achievements of Cerebras Systems in early 2026 spiked our performance to 31% IRR, firmly placing IPOSharks in the top 10% of VC funds on the planet.

The Alpha:
Our strategy is simple but hard to execute: we identify category-defining monopolies at their "inflection point"—post-product, post-revenue, but pre-IPO. We buy the dip when the market is fearful and sell into liquidity when the market is euphoric.
We specifically filter for companies that have secured the five enduring moats: Distribution, Trust, Data, Scale, and Network Effects. In an era where pure technology is increasingly commoditized, these structural advantages are the only barriers that separate a mundane startup from a generational company.

    We don’t mind to stop investing when we see the market is overheated and to wait for the right moment. No rash to deploy the capital.
Hall of Fame
Cerebras Systems
(+1100% Unrealized)
In February 2026, Cerebras closed a $1B funding round at a $23B valuation (a 3x jump in 5 months). They also signed a landmark $10B+ agreement with OpenAI.

The "Nvidia Killer" is no longer a concept; it is OpenAI’s new engine. As AI workloads shift from training to inference (running models), Cerebras’s CS-3 chips are proving 20x faster than Nvidia’s GPUs. With an IPO targeted for Q2 2026, this is our portfolio’s crown jewel.

Circle
(+230% IPO, Realized)
USDC issuer. Following its $8B IPO in mid-2025, Circle has solidified its monopoly under the newly passed GENIUS Act, which established a federal framework for stablecoins.

The "Digital Dollar" is now federally recognized infrastructure. While the IPO provided a massive 2.3x realized gain for our fund.
Ripple
(+840%, Partial Exit)
Emboldened by its legal victory over the SEC, Ripple pivoted to an aggressive M&A strategy, acquiring Hidden Road ($1.25B) and GTreasury ($1B) to build a "full-stack" crypto-finance platform.

A contrarian bet that paid. Rather than rushing an IPO, Ripple is using its fortress balance sheet to buy the competition and launch its own regulated stablecoin, RLUSD, which hit a $1B market cap in late 2025.
Weights & Biases
(+250%, Acquired)
Officially acquired by CoreWeave in May 2025.

The perfect "trojan horse" play. We invested in software (W&B), but we are exiting with equity in the world’s hottest AI hardware hyperscaler. CoreWeave is using W&B to build the "operating system" for its massive GPU clusters, positioning our rolled-over stake for CoreWeave’s own multi-billion dollar public listing.
The Horizon
(Upcoming Events in 2026)
Discord
(IPO 2026)
Reportedly filed confidentially for its IPO in January 2026, targeting a valuation exceeding its last $15B round. We bought it at about a $5B valuation.

It’s no longer just a "chat app for gamers." It has evolved into the communication layer of the internet (Web3, AI, and Midjourney communities all live here). With 200M+ MAUs, it is the only social platform effectively monetizing community rather than just ads.
Paradromics
(FDA Breakthrough)
Received FDA approval in late 2025 for the human trial; first patient implant is scheduled for Q1 2026.

While Neuralink gets the hype, Paradromics gets the data. Their "Connexus" device boasts a data transfer rate 25x higher than Neuralink’s current record. This is the difference between "controlling a mouse" and "restoring fluent speech" for paralyzed patients.
Generate Biomedicines (IPO 2026)
Officially filed for IPO in February 2026 after initiating Phase 3 clinical trials for its AI-designed asthma drug (GB-0895).

This is the "ChatGPT moment" for biology. They aren't just discovering drugs; they are generating them. This is the world’s first protein therapeutic programmed by AI to reach late-stage human trials, validating the entire generative biology sector.
Ledger
(IPO 2026)
Preparing for a $4B+ IPO on the NYSE, with Goldman Sachs and Barclays mandated as underwriters.

As crypto ETFs bring institutional trillions on-chain, security is no longer optional. Ledger recorded triple-digit revenue growth in 2025, proving that in a gold rush, the safest bet is the vault manufacturer.
Animoca Brands
(IPO 2026)
Reached a $5.9B valuation in Nov 2025 and is finalizing plans for a Nasdaq listing via a reverse merger.

They hold the keys to digital property rights, with equity stakes in over 400 Web3 companies. An index bet on the entire future of the virtual economy.

Consensys
(IPO 2026)
Targeting a mid-2026 debut led by JPMorgan, shifting from a software studio to a massive infrastructure provider.

They own the two most critical monopolies in Ethereum: MetaMask (the user passport, 30M+ users) and Infura (the developer backend). If Ethereum is the world computer, Consensys is the operating system.
