A personal update! After an incredible 3.5 years at a16z crypto, I've decided to join my brother @3lau to build a new crypto protocol @join_royal!!! There are a few other things in the works too—more on that soon 👀 I am deeply grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of the a16z crypto team. @cdixon, @AriannaSimpson, @alive_, @eddylazzarin, @milesjennings, @kimbatronic, and @AAlbaneseNY, you have created the most extraordinary team in the industry, and I'm endlessly thankful for your mentorship and support over the years. To the investment team (you know who you are): You're not just colleagues—you're family. You are all exceptional, and I've learned so much from each of you. It's been an immense privilege to work with and learn from so many brilliant founders. You are the ones on the cutting edge shaping the future of crypto, and you've inspired me more than anyone. I've always had the desire to build—and now I get to do it alongside my brother. It truly doesn't get better than that. What are we building? Stay tuned :)
