Degen

Sanat’s post hits. If I could rewind: would’ve hired faster, kept everything in-house, sold more $DEGEN at the top, and stopped asking lawyers for permission. 1.5 years into Degen, wiser now. The app’s in a great spot, but we could’ve been here sooner. Time to hit the gas. Sanat was the only VC taking my calls pre-Degen. Guy’s a real one.

every once in a while you meet a startup going nowhere that says don’t worry we have 6 years of runway

it’s called runway because you’re supposed to take off motherfucker

Sanat has a point, but to balance that out - it’s amazingly easy to be too early, and it sucks when the runway ends up measured in units of “10 year overnight success”

The Degen Foundation didn’t sell $DEGEN for growth or development last year. But we need funds to pay devs and cover server costs, better to do that when prices are high than when they’re low, especially since others were taking profits too.

You would have sold more Degen at the top? Doesn't exactly send a "I believe in Degen" message

“ Sold more $degen “ What a honest young man

the otc raise round should have had smaller discount

At the same time, not selling was a good choice too, since I'm now locked into the project, though I could have had a bigger war chest to blitzscale.

and now you’re ready to go big, let’s go, we’re with you 🫂🎩

Hahaha ... this POV cracked my ribs. Especially the last part.

Great insights. Coaching q: What's one thing you want to do, based on these learnings, moving forward?
