1/ Some personal news 🥳  

I've joined 1kx network to lead social investments!

In 2022, I transitioned from life sciences to crypto. At the time, I wasn't sure where I would land in the crypto space; I just knew I wanted to be an investor. I was building The Symmetrical, a Gen Z investment and consulting DAO. 

After participating in a few oversubscribed rounds, I conceived the idea of launching a Gen Z fund. I cold DMed over 50 different investors and even publicly called out some, asking for 15 minutes to discuss my idea.

Only a few responded, but @pet3rpan stepped up and gave me a shot.

1kx supported me through critical steps in my career, from launching and sponsoring a consumer grants program at The Symmetrical to inviting me to join Hydra Ventures and helping me launch /socialgraphvc

Partner @ 1kx, investing in consumer crypto.

Consumer Crypto

never heard @lucanetz before but now a fan of him and Pudgy Penguins after hearing him at @jakub’s onchain social day. 

here are some good sound bites.

“the PFP game is a status game. i’m in the business of winning; i’m focused on scale and i wake up every morning and i wanna be the biggest and the best. 

crypto needs to cross the chasm and it’ll come down to the communities and products and brands built on top of these protocols. 

people think selling jpegs on crypto rails makes them a web3 business; no, that’s a web2 business.

a web3 business is building with your community and the hivemind with aligned incentives, rather than building in your own silo and making money on blockchain rails. those that embody those ethos will find success.

there is a weird thing in crypto where they build for crypto users and alienate web2 users, but crypto users are actually web2 users — so why don’t we just build for normal users and everyone will latch on. like im building Club Penguin for 2025.”

hackathons

A couple of weeks ago I was awarded 3rd place in the Onchain Bear Cage contest hosted by @socialgraphvc and won 2000 USDC for Farcastles in huge part thanks to the love I received from the community (and totally not for my terrible performance haha).

To return the favor and hopefully inspire more action in our budding ecosystem, I am giving all of the winnings away in the first Farcastles Hackathon. 

See more details in the quoted cast below.

It's heartwarming to see winners from Onchain Bear Cage that 1kx and SGV hosted 2 weeks ago go on a put up their own /jokerace contests to seed their ecosystems.

Bullish

dot.fan

proud to announce @dotdotfan is officially part of @a16zcrypto CSX 2024 cohort of 21 startups!

over the next 10 weeks, we’ll be learning from the best and working alongside fellow founders to bring our pixel-powered, onchain gaming platform to life.

6 months ago, I took a leap of faith and moved to NYC. It's simply the best place to build something new onchain.

I'm grateful for the early support and utterly inspired by the other builders, thinkers and creatives I meet every week.
