This drives me nuts about VCs and I’m gonna call I the Colin paradox from now on How can both these casts be true at once? VCs want this amazing story for how you’ll be the next decacorn, but also major pivots are very common. wtf is the point?

Imagine you're going on a long-distance road trip. Just because there's a good chance you'll get lost once or twice along the way doesn't mean you should start without a map you have conviction in. Drifting aimlessly and finding success is the exception not the norm.

I hear you and agree I don’t think @cojo.eth lacks a map or conviction. I think he’s not convincing VCs that his map/conviction meet their standards. And I’m suggesting their standards don’t match the “often there’s a pivot” reality Founders don’t get lost, they often change trips altogether

Agreed and appreciate it. I feel the same way - it’s an odd reality. The silver lining is that the scrutiny is a forcing function to streamline our thoughts/plans. And RetroPGF grants may consume parts of the VC role more and more in the web3 space 🙃

I like RetroPGF but it shifts the risk even more onto founders and is still a popularity contest I think the real lesson is, everything is kind of a popularity contest so let’s work on getting popular too
