My best advice for founders struggling to raise from VCs right now is to raise from angels. They are price insensitive. They got wealthy (again) after 15mo of bull market. U can raise a decent preseed with just angels now.

really don’t understand why preseed investors make founders go through 10 hours of due diligence. they end up falling prey to analysis paralysis while wasting founders’ time. an hour max is enough to tell if a founder is the real deal

Farcastles is the most interesting thing I saw on this app this week. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. Fundamentally enabled by decentralized social. Are there other games built on top of farcaster?

There r 2 founders in the current @alliancedao cohort who previously built 9-fig companies, and 2 other founders who built unicorns. They r also some of the most humble founders I’ve met, constantly learning and seeking candid feedback. There’s a pattern.

I have immense respect for blast. When it first came out ppl were upset about the lack of “tech innovation”. But the fact is they innovated on distribution, with referral, kol marketing, yield, etc. And the end result is >$1b in tvl. Devs now go there because of the tvl which makes it easy to get off the ground

Once a founder sees signs of pmf, I work with them on nailing the narrative. At times I feel some founders are embarrassed by it. Partly because there’s too much vaporware in this space commanding huge valuation by playing narrative I tell them, u have a good product, so be unapologetic about playing the narrative
