The disrespect of scrolling past 576 wallets including ‘αU wallet’😂 just to find Phantom at the bottom. @privy_io what did @phantom do to you? 💀

@hosseeb VC isn’t a black box; a PitchBook free trial—or borrowing someone’s login—maps every fund, thesis, and partner in minutes. The smarter path is building early in your career. Operators gain the lived judgment VCs later depend on. Venture is a second-stage game—don’t skip the first

Here's what I would do if I was a young person trying to break into VC: Write. Short writeups, on Twitter. Not generic market philosophical thinkpieces, because those will be assumed to be AI slop or regurgitated research. No one will read it unless you're brilliant, which you're probably not. Original research, on a specific company or sub-sector. If you want to write about robotics, even that is too broad. Narrow it down. Humanoid robotics, or healthcare robotics, military robotics, etc. Get really granular. So granular most people won't care. If it's something you could get by Googling, it's not narrow enough. You will not be able to find to do "original research" easily. This is not something you can do from a university library. You will have to go talk to people who work at these companies. Journalists who cover these companies. Pay for private industry-specific research / newsletters. Follow all of the employees/anons who are tweeting gossip. Integrate a picture that someone reading TechCrunch doesn't see. Then write about this sector and leading + new startups and tag / DM every investor at every major firm who covers your space (you can find them because they've invested in one of the companies in the sector). If they express interest, offer coffee meetings with everyone you can. Some will take you up on it. Do this enough times, you'll develop a reputation and get offered a job in venture. Don't need to go to business school, don't need to have a great angel portfolio or any of the above. "Get good deal flow" is wonderful if you have access to it, but most people just can't do this. If you're already surrounded by Stanford undergrads, you probably don't need advice to break into VC. But the above strategy--in principle anyone can do. Just need to have abnormal levels of agency and a willingness to basically do the job of a junior VC without anyone telling you to. (While you're doing this, best thing to do in the meantime is to also work at a company in the sector you're chasing after. But not always possible depending on your background. Thankfully, VC does not require any particular background. Lots of weirdos in VC, myself included.) I guarantee you, everyone wants to hire someone who can do the above. But very few candidates have this degree of agency. VC is not a "tracked" career. Hiring is arbitrary, firms are generally small and do not scale, and there is no standard path. This is good for you if you're willing to be weird. The thing that VCs have in common is that they are passionate about startups and understanding new industries. If you show that you already have that, a path will open for you.

@Buso91 Can you dm me

Here i am

Would like to give a massive shoutout to our team at Beeple Studios, run by my brother Scott who many of you have met or worked with. They absolutely DESTROYED this party and I could not be more proud and thankful of all of their hard work that went into making this possible… For context, the first 20 years of my career was just me alone at a computer. No team, no employees. In December 2020 during the Niftygateway sale, I asked Scott to quit his job as a manager at Boeing and come make physical / digital art and run the studio…he quit the next day. The amazing team he has put together and manages on a daily basis continues to surprise and amaze me. I am in awe of the things they have built over the last two years and their ability to quickly adapt to new roles and challenges. I often joke to people that Scott is the one keeping the wheels on the bus here but that really could not be more true. His unending drive and passion is truly inspiring and his ability to mult-task in so many different areas is INSANE. 😵‍💫 If you had a good time at event, please drop them a note of thanks here!!! 🙏❤️
