The Partnership
The people behind MODV.
Behind MODV stands a partnership of operators, investors, and structurers built across decades, continents, and full market cycles. Individuals within this group have run public companies through IPO, turned around bankrupt industrials, built risk frameworks for global investment banks, founded a country's first private equity fund, and operated continuously in digital asset markets since 2012. The common thread is judgment built by doing — not by talking about it.
Below is a roster call of the capability inside the partnership.
Internet Capital Group
Senior leadership through NASDAQ IPO
$50M fund scaled to a peak valuation above $50B through its NASDAQ IPO, led by Merrill Lynch.
European Industrial Turnaround
One of Europe's most significant industrial recoveries
A bankrupt $50M shipyard restored to over $1B in annual revenue and ISO 9001 certification.
Poland's First Private Equity Fund
Managing Director — $240M vehicle
Managing directorship of the first private equity fund in Poland — a $240M vehicle whose legal framework was authored from scratch.
Accenture Acquisition
Founding executive — $500M exit
Founding executive leadership of a procurement business later acquired by Accenture for approximately $500M.
Credit Suisse, London
Head of Economic Risk Capital
Built the bank's Value-at-Risk and Economic Risk Capital models from white paper to daily reporting alongside board members and senior banking regulators.
PricewaterhouseCoopers
Chartered Accountancy & CEO-level advisory
Chartered Accountancy served at PricewaterhouseCoopers. CEO-level leadership of the personal finance division of a U.S. national advisory firm.
Digital Asset Markets
Active in digital assets since 2012
Founding involvement in an early Web3 investment platform. Members of the team were active in Bitcoin and broader digital-asset markets in the early 2010s — well before institutional capital arrived. More than a decade of continuous participation across cycles.
U.S. Operating Company
$3M to $100M+ revenue in under five years
Regional Vice President leading the business development and sales team that drove a U.S. operating company from $3M to over $100M in revenue in under five years.
Asian Capital Markets
25+ years across Asian investment banking
Cross-border M&A, liquidity strategy, and large block transactions — including founding involvement in a KOSPI-listed company that reached a peak valuation near $700M.
Enterprise Systems
Operational efficiency gains up to 200%
Decades at the intersection of business growth, finance, and systems — implementing technological infrastructure across full corporations to drive speed, profitability, and operational efficiency.
U.S. Marine Corps
Two Marines on the founding team
Two members of the founding team served in the U.S. Marine Corps — one as Gunnery Sergeant in cryptographic and communications systems, and one meritoriously promoted to Sergeant in just over two years (a pace most Marines never reach), with service on a presidential security detail. Honor, courage, commitment, and attention to detail are not slogans on this team. A $14M raise into early-stage operating companies via non-recourse, revenue-based financing followed military service.
Regulated Lending
NMLS-licensed principals & community bank ownership
Two partners hold active NMLS-licensed mortgage loan originator credentials in Texas and Florida. One is a part-owner of a state-chartered community bank vetted by the Texas Department of Banking. Together they have brokered tens of millions in commercial and residential loan volume, with one operator generating $24M in solo annual volume at peak.
“The common thread is judgment built by doing — not by talking about it.”
Portfolio Architecture
Three independent return streams.
MODV's capital is deployed across three independent strategies, each capturing a different category of market inefficiency. The intent is structural diversification — different mechanisms operating in different layers of the market — so that no single strategy carries the portfolio's return profile. Returns are produced by capturing market inefficiencies rather than by taking directional positions.
High-frequency algorithmic trading
Live in production for nearly two years. Captures small, repeatable price discrepancies across deep-liquidity spot markets through thousands of sub-second trades per day. Positions are directional but bounded — measured in seconds, sized between 1% and 3% of the float, with a 3% architectural hard stop on the entire trading book. Returns come from execution precision and disciplined risk, not from calling market direction.
Read the deep dive →Korean cross-border arbitrage
Captures persistent price gaps between Korean cryptocurrency markets and global venues — a structural inefficiency driven by capital controls and local market dynamics. The execution complexity lies in coordinating compliant entities, banking rails, and settlement pathways across jurisdictions.
Go-live targeted within 30–45 days.
On-chain decentralized arbitrage
Captures pricing inefficiencies across decentralized exchanges and blockchain ecosystems, where fragmentation between liquidity pools creates short-lived but repeatable arbitrage windows. A formal Certik security audit gates deployment.
