How does MOVA VC neutralize sell pressure?
By splitting asset allocation: 70% Treasury + 30% LP layer.
This dual-engine mechanism protects trading depth and locks in structural stability.

Dear founders,
Put your vc's to work for you. They can help a metric ton on recruiting, customer intro's, mentoring (some of them), etc.
Don't be afraid to give them a list of to do's coming out of your next board meeting.
Love, Bh.

Still not ranking them, and sector/stage matters a lot. This reflects comments from my last post.
Who is still obviously missing or in the wrong spot?
Can very much relate to founders’ VC hate when I hop on one of those “want to talk to your lead investor” calls for a portco, and realize the other VC is basically outsourcing their entire DD process.
Your job is literally to think dude.
High conviction signal to join a startup is seeing a VC join one of their portfolio companies full time.
They have all the inside information and a whole portfolio to choose from.
Most people think growth comes from more capital.
But in MOVA VC, growth comes from better capital organization.
Same capital.
Different structure.
Different outcome.
That’s the real edge.
