Founders

high stakes storytelling | ex @polymarket

these kids understand virality on such a deep level: the product doesn’t even matter imho

They’re so good at ragebait it’s insane

The Facebook movie recreation almost got me to engage and call it cringe, masters of their craft

elite growth interns

(that’s all you need: everything is downstream of distribution)

i dabble with ai using open identity data from crypto https://alexpaden.tech

(not) hot take:

if you’re not failing constantly, you’re not trying

yeah I thought about mentioning Neumann because of ai16z and he is good at the same stuff

Anyway is what it is, wish I was better at social promo

No offense to Jason:

he didn’t have motion like these kids

now they have fuel to make content and figure things out for another few years

(the more that cluely stays away from crypto, the more I believe in thek lol)

Yep but to your original point of product doesn’t matter— funding itself is only an ephemeral step that crypto locks too heavily on.. there’s a non-zero chance that Roy turns into the fast checkout guy who raised $100m with like twenty dollars in sales then dies.. I think Jason here from moxie previously raised near $100m too. Funding benefits heavily from the aforementioned skill set but that doesn’t get you to rockets in space or chips in brain.

time to lock in 🤝

I think the key thing both share in common:

they are both incredible storytellers
