# MtnCapital
|
|
|
|
**Early-stage VC fund governed by futarchy, launched on MetaDAO in 2025.** Positioned as futarchy-governed venture capital fund making illiquid private deals. Struggled to pass proposals due to difficulty pricing asymmetric information, long timelines, and binary outcomes inherent to VC investments. Eventually wound down with full treasury distribution to holders through MetaDAO's built-in liquidation mechanism.
|
|
|
|
MtnCapital's failure-mode provides critical evidence: (1) futarchy governance works better for liquid, priceable positions than illiquid VC bets, and (2) MetaDAO's liquidation guarantees work as intended—even in failure, no value was lost to extraction or mismanagement.
