So proud of Bea & the whole @PowerDada team. They launched the first collection ever of tokenized art made by artists on Ethereum back in 2017 and precede all of the current cryptoart platforms. I got to witness them develop this strategy while at @mattervc.

It’s time to flare.

It’s time to flare.

I’m proud of the impact we’ve made at Matter, the team we’ve built, and the people that we have transformed. But now it’s time to explore.

I am one of that statistic, and couldn't be more proud to have been part of @mattervc. If the media industry had more @coreyfords in it, we'd be in solid shape. What he built is nothing short of remarkable. Hats off. "It's time to flare." - @coreyford link.medium.com/P69CDmp7aT

Congrats to @TheCreativeAct on closing their financing with Purpose Ventures and @sacca + @crystale! I was proud to work with @maxslavkin and @DerekRazo to craft an alternative financing and ownership model that fits @TheCreativeAct. medium.com/@TheCreativeAct/o…
“…We believe it makes sense to find the right financing model for startups that have the potential to make an impact and a return but aren’t poised to be the next Google. There are a lot of startups out there like that and this model hopefully is a blueprint for how they can finance themselves going forward.’…” from “Our Alternative Journey To Alternative Finance” by CAN.
