Walked into @ETHGlobal EthConf as a Startup Showdown judge with tempered expectations. Walked out super impressed with the curation of the event and the founders and projects pitched congrats @unlink_xyz , also enjoyed hearing pitches from @glider__ pulseplay frames @frankencoinzchf and others

Crypto venture funding ISN’T DEAD In fact, Crypto funding in the last year has taken form in a different capital source, arguably a larger pool than before In the past, crypto native founders only had only a handful of crypto VCs to talk to and only those VCs understood what you are building. Now, there are traditional software investors, consumer investors, fintech investors, corporate venture teams all looking at crypto founders Those investors like consumer markets, stablecoin tools and platforms, digital assets and onchain finance Except they compare you with their industry peers and portfolio So crypto founders who used to be the big fish in small pond is no longer the case You are a teeny tiny fish in a MASSIVE pond So think about that and really STEP UP YOUR GAME

Crypto friends - “market is so bad!! selling my large cap bags” My fintech and data friends - “tell me more about stablecoins and job opportunities in digital assets”

It’s clear to me who is actually executing in this market Great to see founders moving to @monad and I won’t expect this to be be last one

Initial impressions of @maticrobots .. not very impressed.. Pretty design and smooth onboarding than most robotic vacuums, but today is my first day use and it leaves 10 perc of dog pebbleson the floor, strips of paper lying around 🥹 https://t.co/DOnxPGbSC3
