Proud to be a former @coinbase team member. It’s pretty awesome to see many of the people I met there go on to start their own companies and I feel lucky to have been able back a few of them!
common anti-pattern I see:
- someone: introduces a "good idea"
- founder: oh that's possible on my protocol
- idea never actually gets built on that protocol
most ideas are cheap, execution is not
assume that if you're not going to build it yourself, no one will

the case for reality tv prediction markets

- contestants already sign NDAs to minimize leaks
- most shows have super fans
- most shows are competition based
high in frequency, deterministic, users have perceived edge...

How did birkenstocks become seemingly omnipresent amongst back of house restaurant staff?
Random Product Idea:
- Build a reboot of hq trivia with a slight twist
- For each question the "answer" is the option that is voted on the most, not the objectively true answer.
- For good questions this will be entertaining
- Use crypto rails to transparently tally votes.

tip: if you're a crypto recruiting agency don't reach out to vc's for startup open roles. lazy at best, incompetent at worst.

1/ I am excited to announce our lead investment in the Series A of @neynar. The recent growth of social protocols like @farcaster and @!3900 has reminded us of the importance a thriving developer ecosystem for social networks. We believe Neynar will be critical to rewriting this story.

I met with a designer a few weeks ago looking for her next role in crypto and was reminded of the importance of simplifying your product and messaging. This is a lesson that we could learn from as builders.

Building a protocol requires bootstrapping a two sided marketplace with devs and apps on the supply side and users on the demand side.
Competition over devs has gotten intense. More protocols are building their own products first. Im excited about this as a protocol gtm.

So excited to welcome @diogomonica onto the team!
I got into venture to partner with the best founders our space has to offer. It’s going to be a lot of fun doing that while learning from and working alongside Diogo

We’re thrilled to welcome @diogomonica to the team! Diogo adds an entirely new flank of capabilities to what we can offer builders. His arrival represents an important step for us as we construct an elite venture franchise investing at the frontier of crypto.

Letterboxd was one of my most used apps. It's not a perfect app, but has deepened my relationship with movies.
Maybe there are some lessons to be learned in the distinction between building social apps with broad vs. narrow reach?

I am super excited to announce that @haunventures is leading the seed round in @witness with participation from @coinbaseventures and a group of strategic angels across the ecosystem.
eth alignment is weird when you put it into web2 terms
imagine if startups were forced to be...
google aligned
meta aligned
amazon aligned
I am a big believer in the ethereum ecosystem, but it's very unnatural for an industry that is excited about innovation to attempt to enforce incumbent alignment

One of the reasons I think frames are so exciting is because they're free to use, so I decided to write about it.
If you're building a crypto product today I think one thing to consider is: what would I add to my product if I could make it free to use?

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago, but it feels right to share here given I think that @dwr.eth and @v have done a great job embodying some of the lessons I've learned along the way and tried to distill in this post
