Why I started evm.capital?

One of the most powerful things in the world is what a small group of obsessed people can do with just a little bit of support.

Over the years, I've met hundreds of builders. Many of them brilliant. Most of them underestimated. They had crazy ideas but lacked a few hundred dollars to get started. Not venture money. Not a pitch deck. Just enough to buy some tools, launch a prototype, or take a bet on their own imagination.

I started evm.capital because I wanted to remove that friction.

I give microgrants. Usually a check size of $100 to $600, sometimes up to $1,000. To ambitious individuals working on passionate and creative projects. I don't ask for equity. There’s no résumé requirement. I just look for energy, originality, and the desire to build something meaningful.

Some people call this charity. I think of it as infrastructure for future builders.

Great innovation doesn't always start in venture-backed accelerators. It starts in notebooks. In Discord chats. In late-night side projects. Most of history’s great ideas didn’t need millions of dollars. They needed belief and a little push.

The internet made it possible for anyone to learn. Now it's time to make it possible for anyone to build.

I believe the next generation of creators, whether they’re artists, engineers, scientists, or something totally new, will change how we live. But they need space to try, to experiment, and to get started. Especially before anyone else believes in them.

evm.capital is a small bet on those people. It’s a simple layer of support for builders at their earliest and most fragile stage, the beginning.

We’ve never raised a single dollar. Every grant so far has come straight from our own pockets.

That's what evm.capital is built on. And that's how it will grow.
