I have been incredibly impressed by Hivemind Capital’s conviction, rigor, and long-term perspective throughout our Series A process. Working closely with Emmanuel, Kayla, Gigi, and the broader Hivemind team was a true partnership, marked by clarity, speed, and thoughtful strategic engagement. Their ability to combine deep technical understanding with disciplined investment judgment set them apart at every stage of the round. Beyond capital, Hivemind has already proven to be a highly value-add partner, offering insights and support that materially strengthen our execution and ambition. I am sincerely grateful for their trust and collaboration, and very excited about what we will build together in the years to come.

We chose Hivemind as our lead because they’re incredibly efficient and unusually insightful—high-signal conversations, fast decisions, and zero fluff. Their Head of Ventures can go deep on product and technical trends, then connect that to macro dynamics and market timing—exactly what you want in AI right now. What really stood out was their intuition: they immediately appreciated a tech trend we flagged that many other VCs dismissed at the time. They were helping us with strategy, emerging technical signals, and even sophisticated finance/legal tactics before we closed.

Hivemind has been a long-term partner who shares our vision for the future of financial innovation. Their belief in PayFi as the next era of financial development—bringing inclusiveness and efficiency to global markets—aligns perfectly with our mission. Beyond capital, Hivemind has provided invaluable insights and introduced us to strategic partners, strengthening our ecosystem. At RD Technologies, we are laying the critical infrastructure for the global payment landscape, and we’re proud to have Hivemind alongside us on this journey.

Hivemind stood out to us for their clarity of thought, speed of conviction, and founder-first approach. As a lead investor, they’ve added value well beyond capital — from strategic guidance to hands-on support during critical moments. They think long-term and partner deeply, which is exactly what you want at the seed stage.

Hivemind has been an exceptional partner to Silhouette. Their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the technical and market nuances that make our business work, engaging meaningfully with the details rather than staying at a surface level. They are consistently fast to respond, quick to grasp complex systems, and thoughtful and constructive in their feedback. Any request or ask is handled with care and intent. Beyond execution, what truly stands out is HiveMind’s genuine commitment to our industry. You can feel their long-term interest and conviction in their network.

I usually have to simplify the pitch to get VCs interested. With Emmanuel, I had to do the opposite. He didn’t care about the narrative. He cared about the physics of the product. He immediately understood the technical leverage we had while other firms were still trying to figure out the acronyms.

He’s incredibly proactive because he actually understands the specs. He knows exactly where we are strong and where we are blind, and he steps in to patch those holes without an ego. He sees logic when others just see complexity. It’s rare to have an investor who can genuinely code-switch between strategy and the bare-metal details.
