# X Posts June 2026 Part 4

In mid‑June 2026 I announced Monorail’s $1 M seed round on X, tagging the lead investor Neoclassic Capital and the participating angels Echo and Delphi Labs, and then engaged the community with a flood of supportive replies and questions.

Monorail raised **$1,000,000** in this seed round.

The lead investor was **Neoclassic Capital** (@NeoclassicCap).

Participating investors were **Echo** (@echodotxyz) and **Delphi Labs** (@delphi_labs).

The tweet generated **≥ 30** distinct replies on the same day, plus numerous emoji reactions and DM requests.

I also shared my “founder barbell” model for balanced growth.

- 1 whale customer AND 1000 tiny ones

I concluded that startups relying on a single blockchain for traction will not succeed by merely switching chains.

My thesis: a startup that could not succeed on one chain will not succeed by changing chains.

- 1 core product loop with a ton of small stuff that makes the user 'wow'
- 1 top‑tier VC AND 2 small/unknown but believers in the team/product who spend an inordinate amount of time with them
- 1 star techie AND 5 teenage interns working on crazy experiments
- this is the way
