As a crypto marketer + builder, I intend to provide hands-on support to our portfolio, leveraging my expertise. 

Over my last 7+ years in crypto, I've helped numerous protocols x web3 projects with initial traction/go-to-market and helped achieve product-market fit/scale new network effects.

I've seen firsthand how impactful marketing can be for early-stage web3 projects trying to create flywheels.

Often, crypto projects have to deal with 10 or more different personas – from developers, end-users, token community, validators, governance participants, etc.

This leaves a huge gap where promising ideas fail to get traction or things fall flat after a year or two of running the show.

My journey has equipped me to help bridge this gap with founders of early-stage startups even before I joined web3.

Investing in SGV is also a natural fit with my interests as an active user of crypto networks/end-user applications and observer of where consumer crypto/ social is heading.

I've had a lifelong passion for experimenting with emerging social platforms before discovering crypto.

Going back years and years, I was an early adopter of networks like Orkut, MySpace, SecondLife, Twitter, Vine, Facebook, Path, Gowalla, Foursquare, ProductHunt, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

SGV aims to support startups designing with status in mind, facilitating portable reputation, visible social proof, and user-generated content incentives that retain communities.

History shows networks taking this into account tend to outlast those focused narrowly on functional utility.

I'm eager to play a small role in what could become a consumer movement as meaningful as past internet revolutions.

The building blocks now exist; it's time for creators and builders to grab hold and assemble.

If you're building a crypto consumer/ web3/ onchain social product, I'd love to hear about it!

Feel free to reach out to exchange ideas or say GM!
