If there's one thing that AI has supercharged, it's phishing scams and other attempted cons and exploits targeted at startup founders (and probably everyone else as well).

I've cleared two things off of my calendar this week already that were clearly fraudulent.

Right now tokenization is kinda boring. Invest in the same things you've always been able to with now with a higher transaction fee.

MetaLex is different. MetaLex is using tokenization to make early stage venture investing more transparent, dynamic, and more accessible.

We're excited to be collaborating with them to bring their amazing venture offerings to Ampersand users through our open investment marketplace.

There’s a lot of activity around AI agents for investing.

We think the more interesting question is what happens when you’re not limited to one agent, one strategy, or one financial product.

This is where Ampersand comes in.
