Where To Allocate In 2026 | Matty Taylor

Colosseum co-founder Matty Taylor discusses Colosseum's model, which includes online hackathons, a venture fund, and an accelerator program. A key difference from standard accelerators like YC is Colosseum's selection process, which involves observing teams during an engineering sprint to assess their real-world performance. Colosseum seeks founders with passion projects suited for product-market fit, often investing in "weird corners" of the internet. Taylor also introduces STAMP, a partnership with MetaDAO designed to provide token holders with equity-like protections, and touches on the potential for crypto-native assets to overshadow traditional equities. He expresses excitement for Solana DeFi, highlighting the growth in trading volume and the emergence of unique primitives.
