This Thursday, I'm releasing a 100-minute conversation with @diogomonica, General Partner at @HaunVentures, President at @NEARProtocol, and co-founder of @Anchorage Digital. Diogo Mónica is a powerhouse at the cutting edge of crypto and fintech. He’s investing in the next wave of blockchain innovation and serves as the Executive Chairman of Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S. Additionally, he chairs the NEAR Foundation, shaping the future of the NEAR Protocol ecosystem. We talk about: - Balancing life with 2 young kids with a demanding job - Why he believes that in the next 12 months, we will see the first on-chain IPO - How DEFI will never work - unless founders have four-year cliffs and seven seven-year vesting periods - How anger can be a positive driving force when harnessed properly - Leaving Portugal to move to Silicon Valley - How discomfort leads to growth - Working with Jack Dorsey - How starting your own company accelerates knowledge building And much, much more... Out this Thursday!
