hi everyone :) 

I've been building teams for most of my career. Always at startups because it's more fun. 

I joined Optimism two years ago and am responsible for developing our Engineering, Product, and Design teams. 

I love crypto and I love Farcaster. Feel free to ask me about literally anything!!

Building a team: 
1. understand the role/need
2. understand the candidates
3. don't settle + don't rush

Those fundamentals don't really shift across teams. 

First hire at a startup: 
Totally depends on what you are building! We spun out of a research org that was six technical people. A GC was an early hire.

Curious to know what are the key characteristics of building out a successful team? Does it differ from a technical team versus a design team? What do you hire first at a start up?

Hi! 

Artists are crucial to culture and culture is crucial to collectives. 

The artist perspective is a valuable one! A lot of what's being built within Optimism/crypto more broadly can be very challenging to communicate to people unfamiliar with the space. I think artists are uniquely positioned to help translate.

Hey Harper, thanks for doing this!

What role do you see artists in when it comes to the OP ecosystem? 

What is the significance of the artist perspective to the OP ecosystem? 

As we see more VC backed creators, is this a route OP is interested in exploring? If so, what are some standout characteristics? 

Thanks!

I have neither. But if I could only have one I'd have a cat. 

I had newts and fish growing up :)
