Builder · investor · founder

Hi, I'm Mo Shaikh.

I co-founded Aptos Labs and built Meridio. These days I spend most of my time investing in and advising founders who are turning crypto and AI into things people actually use — through my firm, Maximum Frequency Ventures.

What I do

How I spend my time.

I

Invest & advise

I back founders from pre-seed through Series A across AI and crypto-native apps and infrastructure — hands-on, and with conviction.

II

Build

I've spent two decades turning ideas into companies — from a tokenized real-estate platform to a top-ten Layer 1 blockchain.

III

Shape policy

I take select governance roles focused on pragmatic market structure for digital assets, including the CFTC's Digital Assets Subcommittee.
