Calvin and I worked 100 straight 18 hour days to help our people deploy their dreams with precision and quality, in an era with few tools and standards. We found ourselves really vibing with @OmbraRD (my brother), a dev we met working with @mendezmendez. Now we were a tripod of scrappy full stack devs. Meanwhile, @nestarobins (my brother) was deep in VC land as an EIR for a shop founded by mutual mentors. He and I already knew each other very well, as he was running a partner product of the platform I worked for. He was pursuing a funding thesis for NFT marketplaces. In parallel, @KevinNuest (my brother) was down the road on an asset fractionalization platform. I met Kevin during his internship at the old company. Both were looking for technical co-founders. Hmm, I thought. Should we join forces? In January of ‘22, Props was born.
