VC Due Diligence Summary

Solves: data availability bottleneck for rollups (real problem)
Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap creates structural demand
Research-first team published papers before building
Major team/investor unlocks in 2025-2026 create sell pressure
EigenDA and Avail are credible direct competitors
Barrier: DA is commoditizable — switching costs are low
