Indie consultant -> venture contributor

I think I’m sold on the term

Oooo I like that too

iirc, Sweat Equity Ventures was built around this thesis that you could work for equity instead of investing dollars upfront

Easy to look at and ask, "Aren't those just advisory shares?" - but building a firm around it seems like a much bigger endeavor 

Don't really know where they're at today, but remember researching their founder Dan Portillo in 2020-ish

this is cool. i think work + small check (for skin in the game), which could convert into a larger slice of equity after a year of working together might work well.

the original definition (a bit dated and specific to daos), i think it can be much broader given how crypto is shaping up

A new “Venture Contributor” firm launching. 

Looking forward to seeing @katie_haun, @sjrosenblum and @RachaelRad continue to expand and contribute to the web3 ecosystem.

i think it’s fueled by but not exclusive to crypto 

permeable organizations, open networks (farcaster, higher, etc), AI + crypto making it easier to build profitable, global businesses with smaller teams, fewer folks taking traditional VC

lots of tailwinds, which is why i’ve felt “indie consultant” wasn’t cutting it
