Founders

1/ I've shared this privately with some people and it seemed to help so sharing in case helps anyone else

There were a couple really tough years for my fund Scalar - crypto markets were down ~90% since we launched in 2018, we were outperforming but not by much and still a huge loss. It was difficult to fundraise (did ~1000 fundraising meetings)

I didn't have issues with the market personally since I'd been through a long bear market in crypto before but this was the first time I had taken capital from investors and hired employees as a founder. I felt an enormous sense of guilt every day that I had let the people who trusted me down

Co-founder @bountycaster (bountycaster.xyz). Co-producer @ethereumfilm. Previously co-founder of Scalar Capital and product at Coinbase

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's inspiring to see resilience in tough times. Many can relate to the challenges in the crypto space. Wishing you continued success and growth for Scalar! Keep pushing forward!
