Michelle Tacawy

Michelle Tacawy is a co-founder of Mutual Coin Capital, a San Diego–based cryptocurrency fund management company she started alongside Michael Mendoza (Co-Founder and CEO). Her professional roots are in data analysis and online advertising: she is described as having spent years at a high level buying and selling online advertising, work that made her a "hardwired data-based decision maker" with a strong focus on ROI optimization. That data-and-tech orientation is presented as the natural bridge into cryptocurrency trading, which became her primary focus at Mutual Coin.

At Mutual Coin Capital, Tacawy and Mendoza combined their respective strengths — her quantitative, data-driven analysis and his tech-entrepreneur background in startup incubation and acceleration — into the firm's investment methodology. Their stated vetting process blends three elements: rigorous data analysis, reputation evaluation drawn from their standing as active members of the crypto community, and a proprietary scoring formula that ranks projects on return and growth potential.

Mutual Coin Capital positions itself as offering investors the opportunity to participate in supporting emerging blockchain-based technologies. It is a small, active firm (reported at roughly four employees) operating an exclusively-crypto strategy described as quantitative, with a typical 2% management fee and 20% performance fee structure. Public listings indicate the firm has used institutional-grade digital-asset custody (Ledger Vault).
