Dean Fankhauser
I build in markets where the buyer is serious, the information is messy, and trust matters.
Through Blue Venture Studios, current work spans Movingto, funds.movingto, Bitcompare, and RoboZaps. Previously co-founded Nuji, whose team, platform, and technology were acquired by Klarna.

Thesis
Make the market legible
I tend to build where the stakes are high and the information is awkward to compare: immigration, funds, crypto yields, and robotics.
Software handles the structure. People stay close to the judgment where the decision needs it.

Approach
How I work
Fragmented markets
I like categories where buyers have real decisions to make and no clean source of truth.
Trust before scale
Lead with useful data, clear comparison, and expert workflows before trying to scale the machine.
Software where it matters
Use software to codify judgment and reduce friction. Keep expert operators where the stakes require it.
