James discovered a relationship between Bitcoin price and its fundamental drivers during his research on proof-of-work cryptocurrencies at Harvard, then used that research-backed trading success to found CoinWorth Capital, his family office. He completed a contract for JP Morgan’s corporate and investment banking division shortly before founding this project.

## Vision

We bring hedge funds onchain, to enable regular people access to great investing.

## Mission

The best investment strategies have always been out of reach for retail investors. Hedge funds want international distribution but lack the infrastructure to win global capital.

Quant.Fun was built for both.&#x20;

For investors, we open the door: transparent institutional strategies, fast deposits and withdrawals, and full visibility into their portfolio.&#x20;

For hedge funds, we act like a full-service prime brokerage onchain: custody integrations, trade execution, user-facing apps, and global distribution, altogether helping them launch and scale faster. We believe the $5T global hedge fund market doubles as retail investors finally get in.

## Values

Honesty, Transparency, Collaboration
