Always interesting that there’s such a big disconnect between public opinions of VCs and what founders say privately about them.

Paradigm is in a PR crisis, but their portcos say great things about them in private.

Other big VCs are the opposite. Good Twitter reputation, but portcos rate them poorly.

Everyone is blaming Paradigm for Blast’s GTM.

It’s a bit bigger than that - it’s a pattern of them funding projects where the intent seems to be launch a token and profit off retail. Another example is friend tech 

That said, the casino on mars does pay for some nice public goods like Foundry and Reth, so 🤷‍♂️
