AfterWork Ventures

HELLO WORLD! Today marks our official public launch! To celebrate the occasion, a 🧵on who we are and where we’ve come from.

Excited to be part of the Reverse Pitch Night series run by @vidags10 featuring @EVP_VC @AfterWorkVC @blackbirdvc hosted by @hidovetail where we’ll be lifting the lid of which VCs you should chat to for your next raise 👀

What. a. crew. Great to bring together the AfterWork crew and the @AfterNauts for our inaugural NAUT FEST, and to partner with @airwallex to make it all happen!

A big congratulations to our co-founders @alexjkhor and @adrianmpetersen for their recognition in Forbes 30 under 30 (lnkd.in/dSHgq6NV)!

If you’re thinking of dipping your toes into web3 - we’re still minting over at mint.afterwork.vc - the whole crew are excited to meet new ‘nauts, so jump onboard the voyage to the Kuiper Belt!

What sets AfterWork Astronauts apart from other NFT projects is that most members are #web3 curious - rather than web3 natives. We’re proud to be many nauts’ first NFT - and the place which launched their exploration of the web3 galaxy

We're hosting our first Seed Club Demo day next Friday. You'll get a first look at the most exciting community DAOs and projects. If you want an invite, share a gm below and I'll send you details.

1) Start with why. Audience ≠ community. Don't start a group chat for your followers or customers and expect a healthy community to form! Be thoughtful - do these people need a place to connect? Or will your community be yet another Slack/Discord they check occasionally?

@liubinskas @functionly Love it! We should team up!

Me too! With @functionly that's two!
