50T is the leading provider of institutional growth capital to the digital asset ecosystem with $2BN AUM across predecessor private equity fund vehicles at 10T and 1RT. The 50T name represents our 10-year vision: Bitcoins market cap growing tenfold to $20T, alternative protocols reaching $10T, and the equity of the digital asset economy (DAE) exceeding $20T—totaling $50T. This projection reflects the growth we expect as value increasingly moves on-chain, much like how the internet transformed information flow in the 1990s and 2000s.

At SnapShip, we create simple, powerful, and affordable third-party-logistics solutions for SMBs to help level the playing field against big-commerce. Logistics is the backbone of eCommerce and as global retail sales continue to rapidly transition from traditional brick and mortar to online, SMBs find themselves ill-prepared, underserved, and unable to compete with larger and well-established online retailers who have substantially greater logistics experience, infrastructure, and ecosystem support by traditional 3PL providers who cater their services to large-scale clientele. Unlike traditional 3PLs, SnapShip is built from the ground up for SMBs to give them big-commerce logistics capabilities at small-commerce pricing in an easy-to-use solution.
