– Justin Patel, Venture Investor at Decasonic

I’m excited to join Decasonic and contribute at the frontier of Web3 and AI, where my background in private equity, DeFi strategy, and building AI can help founders create enduring products. I was drawn to Decasonic because it matches the way I invest: conviction-led, product-first, and grounded in both rigor and adaptability.

I started investing at 12, and that early curiosity trained me to see structure in chaos, patterns that repeat across equities, crypto, and cycles. It’s why I move quickly on real signals and ignore solely narrative heat with no real structure.

In private equity, I learned how decisions actually get made under pressure, trade-offs, pricing anxiety, messy funnels. Sitting down with operators, not just spreadsheets, sharpened my ability to ask hard questions without breaking trust and to translate analysis into choices a team can act on immediately.

In DeFi, I built yield strategies that kept strong returns through volatility. My takeaway was adaptability over prediction: design systems that rebalance, hedge, and fail safely, bringing institutional grade discipline to crypto-native edges with risk budgets and stop rules. I also built a token-trading and analytics platform that scans markets for projects meeting investment criteria and generates targeted analyses. Experimenting in bringing structured diligence into fast-moving ecosystems.

Today I’m a product-first investor at the Web3 × AI edge. I bring pattern recognition to size opportunities early and adaptability to turn feedback loops into compoundable advantage, whether that’s refining a token model, stress-testing a plan, or bridging crypto-native strategy with a high level of rigor so teams climb the ladder to becoming mainstream.

My Role & Vision at Decasonic

At Decasonic, I focus on sourcing and underwriting the next wave of Web3 and AI products while staying close to founders as they build. I take a product-first approach, starting with what users want, what the data validates, and how value can be captured and sustained. My goal is to bring clarity to noisy markets and translate analysis into real choices that help founders ship products, gain traction, and scale.

This approach fits seamlessly with Decasonic’s core values. We are believers, builders, and investors who commit for the long term. Our identity as a fund is not just to provide capital, but to serve as hands on partners who help founders navigate every stage of growth. I work in an “always-on” style that mirrors the firm’s founder-first values: real-time on-chain and product telemetry, rapid feedback loops, and direct guidance when it matters most.

What excites me most about Decasonic is the opportunity to partner deeply with visionary founders and remain present through the hardest parts of company building. My contribution is to turn complexity into clarity, earning trust through consistent service, helping teams focus on what matters, and pushing products from zero to one and beyond. Founders and LPs should feel two things from me at all times: speed with precision, and conviction with accountability.

Closing & Call to Action

Joining Decasonic is not just a new chapter for me, it is a commitment to building the future alongside visionary founders. The convergence of Web3 and AI is the frontier of innovation and the moment to create is now.

If you are a mission-driven founder reimagining how we interact, transact, or create, whether through AI-powered infrastructure, interoperable protocols, or crypto applications, I want to hear your story. At Decasonic, we thrive on partnering early, moving fast, and helping you turn bold ideas into lasting impact. Let’s build the breakthroughs that will define the next decade.
