Odyssey MVP is out! This is a project @Jebus and I have been working on full time for the past year, bootstrapped and mostly self-funded (along with a few generous angel checks 🙏). I'm proud that we've dedicated ourselves to building something real, with full conviction, during a time in this industry where it feels like capital is constantly being burned with little to show for it. In the past year, almost every consumer crypto startup and attempt at decentralized social has either failed or pivoted to some form of zero-sum token markets/gambling. This isn't to say many of those teams weren't brilliant. Building applications, especially in consumer, is difficult and experimental in nature. If you ask someone for advice, they'll probably tell you not to pursue consumer. It's the hardest path, nearly impossible to raise funding for (especially right now), and asks founders to attempt the lofty goal of creating something that's useful to a lot of people, not just a few. And yet, here we are. If you want to see consumer crypto succeed, you should try Odyssey. This is an app you can onboard your normie friends into, that doesn't ask you to gamble away your funds, that integrates crypto in a way that makes the product better. 💜 @OdysseyAILabs
