XN invests in the future of finance, decentralized work, and knowledge. We see the world as increasingly dependent upon the success of free and independent individuals operating within flexible and nimble frameworks, and seek out the tools and services that improve their lives within that paradigm. Broadly, we primarily consider FinTech, Software, Marketplace, and Content Infrastructure businesses. Currently, we see particularly intriguing opportunities in crypto, payments, talent marketplaces, creator tools and platforms, solopreneur economy incentives, media distribution, and metaverse platforms. We will flex our themes so long as they fit our core beliefs within finance, work, and knowledge acquisition. We shy away from "me-too" offerings and seek leading edge ideas that will push industries forward at the structural level. We currently structure each investment on a deal-by-deal basis with our investor network (i.e. a syndicate) and seek to participate in Series A and Series B transactions. We support our management teams to the fullest extent of our and our network's capabilities.
