I had a fantastic time talking with this year's @a16zcrypto Crypto Startup Accelerator (𝗖𝗦𝗫) cohort as part of the Research Team sessions on Tuesday!

Here are three 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 from my part of the conversation:

👇🧵

We back bold entrepreneurs building the next internet.

It’s time to fight for the right to create.

Today, @a16zcrypto, @standwithcrypto, @opensea are kickstarting the Creator Defense Fund, a legal defense fund for creators using blockchain technology to connect with fans, monetize their work, and bring creativity to the world.

We’re contributing $1M and partnering with top law firms to offer legal services and consultations for artists and creators who are facing potential government action or simply want to ensure they are structuring their NFT projects in a legal and compliant manner.

Especially proud to be part of @a16zcrypto today QED 🙏
