Founder Perspectives
Alexandre Vinot
CEO•Hestiia
At our initial meeting with Nicholas and Dave from NewLayer Capital, it was immediately evident that they understood Hestiia's multifaceted blend of Bitcoin, energy, heating, IoT, and big data, a concept many other investors struggled to grasp. During our early days, when we faced challenges like product pivots and European manufacturing hurdles, New Layer's guidance was invaluable. Their placement of a top-tier board member became instrumental in shaping our strategic direction. With their expertise and expansive network, we're confident in their support for our upcoming North American expansion.
Hestiia is revolutionizing the heating industry by using ASIC computers as a heat source.
Austin Mitchell
CEO•Synota
We love working with New Layer Capital. Nicholas and Alex ask questions that get to the root of an issue. They dig into the details, provide specific feedback, and offer actionable advice. Overall, their approach to advising companies is empowering. When Synota needed to mature its sales process and customer journey, not only did Nicholas and Alex help us identify the gaps but they coached us on specific frameworks and remained engaged as we made progress.
Synota leverages the Lightning Network to provide automated and instant B2B energy settlement, allowing companies to enhance cash flow, mitigate credit risk, and save time.
Brad van Voorhees
CEO•Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol
From our early days, New Layer Capital believed in our vision and stepped in as one of our very first investors. Their passion for Bitcoin, coupled with their profound knowledge of the energy landscape, especially around decarbonization and carbon credits, has been immensely beneficial. Alongside their financial support, they've facilitated strategic connections within their portfolio, sparking synergistic collaborations for us. Their hands-on approach and genuine commitment to our mission make them a unique and invaluable partner.
Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol is accelerating the evolution of Bitcoin to become a more sustainable and transparent asset class. Their protocol financially incentivizes Bitcoin miners to use verified clean energy, and for the first time ever allows investors to sustainably own Bitcoin.
Medi Naseri
CEO•Lincoin
Nicholas and Alex have been indispensable partners on our journey. Beyond their active engagement and deep insight into Bitcoin and the energy industry, they've opened doors to large mining customers, leading to key pilots. Their knack for fostering connections among their portfolio companies has unlocked synergies, enabling us to integrate our software solutions. We deeply value their consistent support and the palpable impact they've brought to Lincoin.
Lincoin offers a sophisticated energy intelligence SaaS platform tailored for businesses with flexible energy loads in
deregulated electricity sectors, notably catering to bitcoin miners.
