Fascinating talks by @eddy on Tokenomics Design at @a16zcrypto CSX.
Here are my notes:
Network Effect
* Tokenomics is all about defining and reinforcing network effects. It’s crucial to outline core metrics tied to the network’s primary behaviors—where value is truly created. These metrics guide the incentives.
* For example, in Uber’s case, core metrics might include rider wait times and driver utilization. Enhancing these metrics draws more participants, thereby strengthening the network effect.
* Network effects differ from reflexive effects (e.g., price increases leading to further price increases), which are self-reinforcing but less sustainable.

- "Preparing for the Pitch" by
@AriannaSimpson
from the last cohort: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wVKcgn2W1uw
- Put team slides first.
- Business model and GTM strategy are mandatory.
- Understand the knowledge graph in your audience's mind and use that to explain your concept.
- Relax, as it helps to relax your audience.
- Demo day short pitch is like a trailer to a movie. It needs to get the audience curious enough to want a follow-up meeting. It is not meant for in-depth explanation.
- Let the market set your valuation.
- You can ask the investor about their typical engagement model with their portfolio companies.
