hi @nich ! excited to have you here! I'm curious to learn more about the day to day for a Head of Platform - what does it entail? And how involved are VCs in shaping an early stage team?

Good question! It varies a lot depending on the size of the VC and stage of their portcos. The role essentially coordinates various pillars of portco support: can be anything from community initiatives, recruiting, institutional BD, PR/comms, and internal resources and events to find synergies within our network

For PR/comms it's things like coordinating press releases with the media for raise or big launch announcements. For internal network it's things like organising virtual workshops with invited speakers on security, tokenomics etc. and maintaining a knowledge base of relevant best practices/resources

My experience was primarily community initiatives that provides awareness boosts such as organising hacker houses, hackathons and conferences. For recruiting we keep track of high prio roles and send along candidates that come our way, or connect founders with our recruiter network
