EthCC 2026 Takeaways 👇
VC and Fundraising:
• Extremely low VC attendance, used to be the biggest crypto VC event just 1-2 years ago
• >90% of founders are out of touch with valuations (still) - hurting their fundraises
• We're in the early innings of startups and VCs not being able to come back to market expect another 6-12 months of this
• VCs with Fund 2 and above are raising relatively well in Europe, LP interest is still here
Founders and Builders:
• Many OGs have left. The ones still around are either building or involved with the most interesting projects
• The best teams are uniquely balancing an ambitious long-term vision with a practical bear market GTM
• Tech and first-mover advantage are not moats anymore - I still get pitched this by a lot of founders
• People are extremely bearish tokens - tend to agree although some of the best products that haven’t been built yet will still have tokens imo, pessimism seems overblown
Crypto x AI
• Agents are still early but showing promising signs of generating higher yield than regular DeFi products
• Critical infrastructure is being built that is necessary for its future growth
Ethereum ecosystem:
• There’s still a lot of people building startups in the Ethereum ecosystem - remains to be seen if these builders are business-oriented enough to make it work
• DeFi in Ethereum is clearly working and is here to stay long-term - almost all of the best early-stage teams are working in this category
• EF Founder success team has done a great job with providing ecosystem support - the foundation needs to focus more on this or else projects will migrate
Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic on the Ethereum ecosystem. Only serious people are left. The market is forcing better ideas and more valuable / sustainable products.
The best teams are taking the biggest swings, hungry to win, look / feel institutional and are finding early traction with extremely limited resources - good signs of long term durable businesses.

I am working with a ton of start ups, protocols, and institutional partners in the web3 world.
One thing almost all of them have in common is that they want to hire cracked rust engineers.
If you consider yourself a connoisseur in the art of rust, I’d really like to speak with you. We have a lot of opportunities for you @Blocksource_co

A friend of mine has been hit by a few layoffs. Each time he bounces back within a month- usually with a pay bump, sometimes a promotion. He lands on his feet every single time.
I asked him what he does- it's the stuff recruiters always say and many people say- "I did that" or "I've tried that"- but just operates this way.
He saw a job he wanted before his layoff happened. They required a security cert- one he'd want anyway. He used his final month of benefits to book it immediately and applied right away. He checked linkedin for connections at the company and found an old one.
He reached out and asked them to flag his resume to the recruiter. After every interview he followed up with the recruiter AND the interviewers, thanking them.
He also hopped on calls to debrief. This signals interest- and when two candidates are close at offer time, you default to the one who showed they actually want it. He treats the interview like the job, acting like interviewers are already colleagues and the hiring manager is already his boss. He communicates like he's already on the team.
when explaining technical concepts he's mindful of who he's talking to and how they're reacting- start broad, read the room, go deeper only if they're tracking. You don't want to lose someone or show them up.
The basics work, many people just don't do them consistently.
