Sami Rusani
Fund manager & capital allocator focused on AI, digital assets, and real-world value creation.
I manage capital for institutions and high-net-worth investors, and I advise founders and teams on strategy, execution, and capital formation. Everything flows from the same thesis: disciplined capital allocation, market structure, and what holds up under diligence.
Focus areas
Capital allocation & market structure
I'm focused on how value actually moves: liquidity, incentives, positioning, and structural edge. This informs both my fund's investment decisions and the strategic advice I give to portfolio companies and founders.
Tokenization & real-world assets
I'm interested in when tokenization is genuinely investable: where value accrues, how governance works, how yield is generated, and how the structure survives scrutiny. I invest in these opportunities and advise teams building them.
AI for decision advantage
AI is only useful when it changes decisions and outcomes. I focus on adoption and workflows that measurably improve research, execution, and operations - both in my fund's investment process and in the companies I advise.
Selected experience
Launched a hedge fund and SPC fund manager focused on frontier markets (AI, digital assets, market structure)
$200M+ raised and deployed across ventures, transactions, and fund formation

Digital assets since 2013, with deep exposure to trading, liquidity, token design, and market structure
Work spans Europe, the US, and the Middle East, often in high-context, high-stakes environments.
Principles I operate by
Risk first
Upside matters, but survivability matters more.
Structure beats story
Incentives, liquidity, and governance decide outcomes.
Execution is strategy
An idea isn't real until it ships.
Trust compounds
Reputation is the most durable asset.
