My guest today is Rick Marini

Rick is the founder and managing partner of Protocol Ventures, a San Francisco based fund-of-funds that focuses on hedge funds investing exclusively in crypto assets.

Rick currently has $10 million under management and is raising a $100M fund.

Today’s conversation is a deep dive into Protocol Ventures and an exploration of the fund of funds model, as well as how Rick has applied that model to crypto asset investing.

This discussion is important because it is the very first published interview with a founder of a crypto asset fund of funds.
