Most VCs never touch the RIA path. Martin Garcia walked BITKRAFT straight into it — because he decided you cannot properly serve investors at the convergence of gaming and crypto without the flexibility to hold both equity and token warrants. That single structural choice reframes what investor relations actually means: optimizing the fund itself around the people whose capital you steward.

In this episode, Martin Garcia — General Partner, Operating Partner, and CFO at BITKRAFT Ventures — joins host Joshua Wilson to unpack investor relations from both sides of the table. A former LP turned operating partner, Martin brings a fiduciary-first lens shaped by stints at Sozo Ventures, Accuracy, and PwC, plus an MBA from Chicago Booth. The conversation covers global sourcing arbitrage, radical LP transparency, non-dilutive user-acquisition financing, and why fund structure is itself an investor relations strategy for the public and private capital allocators who make up today's evolving shareholder base.

What We Cover:

• Why sitting on both sides of the table sharpens the LP relationship
• The fiduciary mindset: treating LP capital as if it were your own
• How a global remit creates sourcing arbitrage a domestic-only fund cannot match
• The real cost of becoming an RIA — and why BITKRAFT did it anyway
• Equity vs. token warrants: structuring to optimize for the investor
• Radical transparency with LPs, including the write-downs and failed pivots
• Non-dilutive user-acquisition financing and quantitative underwriting
• Venture vs. private credit: two investor conversations, one fiduciary standard
• Why India and Africa sit at the center of the global digital-entertainment thesis
• Interest vs. fit: the mindset that separates venture operators from enterprise builders
