crypto angels got tired of waiting long for equity liquidity via secondaries/IPO listings - so they put money in SAFTs which don't release a token 3-5 year out and accrue value nowhere.
reason why angel/pre-seed side of funding has dried, is bags from '21/22 that weigh heavy
Who are some folks building options products -- team working internally on a story around the evolution of options and impact of derivs market on token volatility
Happy to chat .
May be cooking something on the side too. Idk tho.
If you’re building a product that is crypto- (real world adjacent) - there’s a high chance you’re shooting yourself in the foot raising only from crypto native VCs whose time horizons are 18 months.
Ideally have very traditional VCs that have built to scale on cap table.
There's a conservative law in crypto-data that dictates all data products will be replicated - and made free by a competitor. Especially for higher tier products.
