Cohost /gmfarcaster livestream Farcaster news show 🎙️💬 Founder Tenger Ways, bringing joy into work with DevOps practices 🤗 mom x 3 💗

Only read your TLDR and sound like what a recruiter has to do 

Wild how no one sees the overlap in VC and recruiting.

Placed 100+ in crypto jobs. Found the gaps, fixing them. 3x grant-backed founder building @interestedfyi to reshape onchain hiring. Ex @ConsenSysMesh.

From my experience few VCs invest in talent support. Thus few respect anyone doing talent work outside of a transactional interaction to fill a role for a dying portco beyond saving. 

Networking here is huge. Met ~4 people if start a 3 month project with at the blink of an eye. Timing just needs/ed to be right for us both. 

IMHO Farcaster opportunity is to align people interested in furthering the same ideas. The signal derived from channels is really powerful. Meaning I wouldn’t invest or hire anyone who isn’t a proliferating their ideas in a channel that aligns with their business or candidate application

💯 totally agree with the similarities but I also feel like I may have heard people make the comparison in the past 

Esp when it comes to networking- the benefits you get today are coming from things done many years ago 

Makes me think about farcaster- we are making relationships today, how will we be leveraging them 10+ years from now for investing and hiring opportunities?
