More Micro Funds Actually, AgentSync Becomes A Unicorn And Crypto Investing Continues To Amaze

Howdy! Welcome to Midas Touch. I’m Becca Szkutak and I’m joined by senior editor Alex Konrad and senior reporter Kenrick Cai.

In this edition, we look back on the year and highlight progress and updates from some of our past coverage. To start, I checked back in on micro funds. I covered these small firms earlier this year because the data showed they were on track for the lowest closed fund count in years, despite the feeling that new firms were popping up daily; turns out the data was lagged and that was wrong! I also checked back in with Zane Venture Fund, which we wrote about in May when it held its first close on its debut fund. It recently raised a fun carveout worth highlighting. Alex catches up with AgentSync, the very first deal covered in this newsletter. The company has gone on to raise new funding and become a unicorn. We also look at updated crypto investing numbers for 2021 which are up 700% since we last checked in March. Let’s do it!
