Venture is a very streak industry. - Signrd two core deal term sheets this past week - In Q1 & Q2 didn’t have a single core deal that I led The job is showing up everyday knowing that you’ll find great investments if you’re consistent. Sometimes that happens twice in a week.
Imagine if every venture firm had product, design, and engineering leaders on the investment team & actually used the tools they invested in to build software. That’s what we do at @chapterone. It’s how we often discover the best infra & products before anyone else.
Friday afternoons are for building. Rewrote our internal login flows to use @better_auth - our newest @chapterone portfolio company. 10/10 developer experience. cc: @imbereket 🙏 🙌
It took Supabase: * 5 years to get to 1M developers * 4 months to get to 2M * 3 months to get to 3M Absolutely insane acceleration.

One dynamic that makes crypto different from traditional startups: launch a token and you’re basically a public company. @ether_fi treats that responsibility seriously hosting regular analyst calls like any top-tier public co. One of the most disciplined teams in crypto.

In a future where engineering costs trend to zero & you can build anything overnight, focus becomes your competitive advantage. Seeing this firsthand: friends tinkering nonstop but paralyzed by infinite choice. Building is easy—deciding what to build is hard.
Love how underrated our team @chapterone is… honestly, hope it stays that way. All credit to the @ether_fi team—still one of the most slept-on teams in crypto, which feels crazy at this stage. Maybe being underrated is a feature, not a bug.
💵🌱 @chapterone co-led @ether_fi's $5.30M seed round in 2023. Two years later, the protocol's TVL has grown from $0 to $6.8B.
Sharp take from @m2jr on the “freshman vs. senior” investing framework.
This is an interesting take and something that I think about often. I was lucky to meet with @m2jr when starting Chapter One and he talked to me about how you can invest in freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. His framework was that you often get caught overpaying for…
