Alright my last 2 casts were my attempt at passing on some of my knowledge / learnings from running a crypto fund

That said, I'm never going back to venture. Building only from here on out 🫡

Building @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer on an Ethereum documentary. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

“Being a VC is often writing emails to support people who are doing things. It’s not often doing things yourself.”

Not my words. Said by Christina from Vanta as a former VC at USV. Did you feel that way?

My experience running a crypto fund for 6 years

Pros
- get to meet and work with some of the smartest founders / teams
- spend days learning many interesting things
- straightforward biz model

Cons
- can be sharp elbows / political
- a lot of fundraising / LP management if starting fund
- far removed from building

Yeah, had put "far removed from building" on this list here https://warpcast.com/linda/0xf906a76d

Will caveat that starting a fund is a different experience since a decent amount of things you have to do yourself especially early on

"a decent amount of things you have to do yourself especially early on". I'm building stuff and doing everything myself so that's no different. The only way to succeed is by doing stuff yourself even if you plan to hire.
