Founders

One of the biggest differences for me going from VC to company founder is getting comfortable with not keeping up with most things happening in crypto anymore since your world ends up being more specialized. Surprisingly harder to adjust than I anticipated since crypto news is actually really interesting

yeah many people think founders are "closer to the ground" and know more about what's happening in the space 

truth is they know
- a lot about what's happening in their specific vertical
- very little about what's happening outside

keeping up to date outside the vertical takes dedicated effort / time and thus happens at infrequent intervals

unless you're super chads running @manysuchcases

Founders who are "broad" industry influencers are huge red flags to me

This is so true, and this is the reason why sometimes using X a lot becomes counter productive because we get thrown so much of less relevant information to our own vertical
