As 2024 draws to a close it is worth reflecting on a year that has been as eventful as it was unpredictable (and let’s be honest we wouldn’t have it any other way). Amidst a challenging funding and macroeconomic climate, the top entrepreneurs have continued to emerge, proving yet again that innovation thrives under pressure.

The world’s problems are still here – but where there are problems, there are opportunities and us – venture capitalists – are poised to roll up our sleeves and get to work. After all, if history has taught us anything, it’s that a little funding and a lot of ambition can spark transformative change.

Speaking of transformation, 2024 brought incredible leaps in tech—AI that’s reshaping industries, Bitcoin that’s continuing to bring accountability to the world’s financial markets and the development of stablecoins as a quantum leap on existing payment methods.

As we toast to the year ahead, 2025 promises even more excitement and opportunities, with new frontiers to explore and entrepreneurs ready to lead the charge. Together, let’s embrace the challenges and opportunities with grit, humour, and hard work.

Here’s to an amazing 2025 from all of us at Concentric & Timechain – let’s make it one for the books! Cheers!
