🚀 Doubling down on Solana! RockawayX, the Prague-based VC firm that bet big on Solana pre-launch, just closed a $125M fund focused on early-stage Solana projects. CEO Victor Fischer says it’s all about their “engineering-first, hands-on” approach. Solana builders, your moment is here. 💰⚙️
RT @Austin_Federa: RockawayX was willing to do something very few VCs were willing to do: acquire and operate fiber to expand the @doublezero network 🔥 They’re bringing fiber into Prague and several other cities on the European continent and running their validator on the network

We just raised a $4.5M venture growth round for @Breakoutprop, led by RockawayX. Prop trading is here to stay and Breakout is the best option for crypto traders. Thank you to our traders for your trust and support. We have a ton of exciting news to share in the coming weeks to make Breakout even better. LFG 🫡
RT @breakoutprop: We just raised a $4.5M venture round led by RockawayX, with support from Round13 Capital and Mechanism Capital. This new injection of capital will be used to improve our technology infrastructure, expand and improve our platform feature-sets, invest heavily in a new global affiliate program, and more. In just 8 months since launch, Breakout has earned a reputation as the gold standard for trading crypto in an evaluation-based prop model. A pristine track record of 0 payout denials and the fairest, most trader-friendly rules has allowed us to attract top quality investors and focus on growth as we look to expand our existing user base of over 5,000 traders. This is just the beginning. We thank all of our traders for your support.
RT @unclesendit: Today is an inflection point for Breakout with the announcement of our $4.5m venture growth round led by the experienced team at RockawayX with participation from Mechanism, Round13, CSquared, IOBC, and Mentat Group. Operationally, we’ve accomplished one of the hardest feats — going zero to one. We currently have over 5,000 traders that have collectively traded over $12B in notional volume and we’re growing exponentially. It’s now time to take things to the next level with a stacked treasury that we can leverage to improve our product even further and get Breakout into the hands of tens of thousands of new traders across the globe. I often get asked what it’s like to run a startup and many times I don’t even know where to begin. Startups are HARD. I won’t get into the minutiae but after 4 startups and 16 years, the biggest takeaway for me has been that in order to succeed, you have to mentally overcome the fact that successful startups need to fall forward and constantly navigate unique obstacles without allowing any one of those obstacles to paralyze the company. This is a constant battle that is unachievable without a resilient team that all share the same mindset and entrepreneurial drive. Our team at Breakout is the best I’ve ever been a part of and our growth in such a short period of time could not have been achieved so far without each and every person involved. You know who you are, thank you. We’re going to continue to push the envelope and will have some really exciting news to share in the coming weeks on the product front. Stay tuned.
