I need to reintroduce myself.

I’m about to publicly launch a new company called 
@MezzanineLabs but most people only know a tiny, tiny part of my career... and usually it’s that I started ConstitutionDAO or that I was on the team that acquired Grindr

I studied econ and cs in college. As a sophomore, I started NomadX, an apartment rental company for digital nomads. We expanded across several countries and aggregated tens of thousands of units. Our goal was to create a global network of "host cities" where nomads could live for 1–3 months at a time. (Dare I say, an early network state?)

One of my first customers in Lisbon introduced me to bitcoin in 2017. That fall, bitcoin hit $20k for the first time and the term “DeFi” hadn’t been coined yet. I tried arbitraging Litecoin and Bitcoin on a Zimbabwean exchange called Golix, where prices had 50%+ premiums. That’s where I learned about market depth and how hard it is to make money in illiquid markets.

Building Mezzanine, started ConstitutionDAO

Inspiring journey. Thanks for the writeup and can't wait to find out more about what you're building.
