In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Min Teo, co-founder of Ethereal Ventures, shares how the firm spun out of the ConsenSys ecosystem after years of incubating, investing in, and co-building early crypto startups. She explains why crypto’s transparency, permission-less innovation, and global financial rails drew her from traditional finance and fintech into venture investing.

The conversation covers Ethereal’s founder-first investment approach, why they focus on early-stage infrastructure and applications, and how they think about Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, stablecoins, tokenization, and AI. Min also shares why stablecoins may still be underhyped, why AI crypto is promising but early, and why investors should build a system, focus on quality, and know when to take profits.
