📥 Introducing the Vana whitepaper: An Open Protocol for Data Sovereignty. Authored by @annakaz, it explains Vana's vision and enabling technology for the future of AI, powered by user-owned data. Here's the TL;DR: 🧵

received deck from a well-known VC and one of their core values gets me thinking: what is "patience" for VC? I got an "interesting" challenge before for joining the seemingly "short-term" option over the common VC round during this cycle. I mean... it's no brainer that certain rounds are more favorable in design in terms of FDV and vesting schedule (and it's granted to people who can contribute with their resources but why constraint the category?). This question is not well grounded in the first place in my humble opinion: do we invest for the fame and name? or because of the name "venture capital" we have to take all the risks blindly? Before thinking about reaping profit, the first thing is always security of the seed fund, no matter if it's a single LP fund like Ticker or tbh if it's a VC with LP's funds, I will be making decisions more carefully , for the responsibility and trust. I saw many new VCs fomoing for big names which I completely understand the practice but this simply is not my strategy. Then goes back to the question: am I patient with my portfolio? I haven't sold a single token of a project which I invested 6 years ago during the ICO era. This one investment worths 7 figure at its peak and now it's down with one digit. Recently, I even met the whale friend who did M&A on this project and we got talking. He is so surprised I haven't sold a dime over these years, 3 cycles. Do I regret on this? yes and no. I supported hands-on with countless aspects including CEX negotiations. so my advice to smarty-pants: think twice and learn about who you are talking to before passing judgement. Eventually, are you a long-term holder or in here for the quick profit? this would be an interesting debate #VC #Crypto
