In this episode, Ben sits down with Lasse Clausen, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of 1kx Capital.

With Lasse at the helm and roots dating back to 2018, 1kx has become one of the industry’s most reputable venture firms with a deep-research, thesis driven investment approach. The team recently released the second iteration of their Cost of Trust thesis which frames where they believe the largest crypto outcomes will come from over the next few cycles. Lasse is a true professional with a firm grip on the evolving crypto venture dynamics. I learned a ton from this episode and I’m thrilled to share with the Scenius Studio audience.
