Reforge

Coordination is the hidden foundation of the global economy. Today, that coordination stack is breaking. Legacy systems, institutions, and governments were not built for a world defined by AI-driven acceleration and exponential complexity.

As a result, new financial market structures are emerging. Software-native markets powered by distributed systems and programmable money make entirely new forms of coordination possible.

Reforge invests across the financial system value chain, from institutional infrastructure to frontier primitives and applications shaping these new market structures.
