Happy New Year 🎉
Looking back at 2025, it’s been a defining year for me.
- Quit my full-time decent job
- Won 2 international hackathons
- Met exceptional massive number of web3 people who shared real knowledge
- Started my own startup @centuari and learned the hard truth of running a company
- Connected deeply with the @base.base.eth ecosystem
- Built relationships with ecosystem partners like @ethereumfndn and @offchainlabs
- Built relationships with so many partners including stablecoins, RWA issuers, LPs, market makers, risk curators and many more
- Got accepted on paper by @alliance, but failed the second interview (Qiao, Imran, Roberto)
- Started pre-seed fundraising, even in the middle of the holidays
Not everything worked. That’s fine.
This year, I’m choosing to be a cockroach:
hard to kill, adaptable, and relentlessly building.
No hype. No shortcuts.
Just keep shipping and keep pushing @centuari 💙
