1/ After 2 years at EigenLayer, I'm parting ways to explore something new. I saw a rare 0→1 cycle: academic team of 10 to 120+. From ~$0 to at its peak, $20B in deposits. Will start a Substack to share my upcoming journey & learnings. Part 1: How to spot unicorns early 🧵

Andreesen Horowitz doubling down After a 100M$ Series B investment into Eigen Labs, @a16zcrypto is now purchasing an additional 70M$ of EIGEN. We deeply thank @alive_eth who led the Series B and has been an exceptional partner across the Eigen lifecycle. Huge thanks to the leadership team at A16Z for their continued support and building an extraordinary team towards a long-term techno-optimist future: @cdixon, @pmarca, @bhorowitz and @jasonrosenthal. Most of the portfolio support A16Z does is behind the scenes, so it may not be visible outside. But I am thrilled to share that we could not have hoped for a better partner than A16Z. Excited to go build EigenCloud, the future of verifiability with the renewed support of Ali and A16Z.
