Frontier-tech first checks

Small checks.
Big Unc energy.

Unc Fund writes the first $500 to $9,999 into blockchain, AI, software and robotics founders. Before the deck is finished. Before anyone else will. Decision in a week.

UNCProud of you.
The check

How much does Unc believe in you?

Yes, these are real numbers. No, this is not a rolling fund. It is one Unc and his checkbook.

$2,500
That's a real check. Don't spend it all on a logo.

What Unc funds

Four things Unc reads about and doesn't fully understand

Which is exactly why they need funding.

Blockchain

Infrastructure, wallets, onchain products people actually use. Not a token with a roadmap.

“Explain it like I'm your Unc. Because I am.”

AI

Agents, tools and models applied to a real job that someone pays for today.

“Does it work when the wifi is bad? Asking for me.”

Software

Boring is fine. Boring with a customer is better. Boring with revenue makes Unc cry.

“My nephew could build this. He did not. You did.”

Robotics

Hardware that moves, senses or builds. Unc will ask to see it move.

“Can it carry groceries. Follow-up: can it carry Unc.”

How it works

No 47-slide decks. No warm intro required.

Fill the form

Five minutes. Attach a deck if you have one. If not, the one-liner will do.

Talk to Unc

Twenty minutes on a call. Unc asks dumb questions. Smart founders answer them well.

Money in a week

A yes means a SAFE, a wire, and you're a nephew now. A no still gets a reply and a reason.

Pitch Unc

Nephews

Unc's first nephew is on the way.

Every company Unc backs is a nephew. When the first check lands there will be a photo of a very large novelty check and a very small number on it. The nephews page and the anti-portfolio fill in from there.
