George Bousis is a serial founder-operator who built and scaled Raise into a large gift card and mobile wallet platform processing billions in transactions, giving him hands-on experience in payments and loyalty infrastructure that most VCs lack. He continues to actively build in the same domains he invests in—operating Raise and founding 1/1 Capital—so founders get an investor who is currently working through product, distribution, and regulatory challenges in payments and Web3 loyalty rather than relying only on past experience.
