What if the people funding your app were also the people using it, sharing it, and helping it grow?
That’s the idea behind raising with us on @MetaDAOProject.
Apps in our portfolio have 10x'd their users and went on to raise VC capital. Could be you too

It's really cool that MetaDAO has thousands of investors.
All over the world, there are people in our corner fighting for us 24/7.
Founder intros. Feedback on product. Investor intros. Niche industry expertise.
Basically anything I need as an operator to make MetaDAO a massive success, there's usually someone in our network who can help.

I sat down with @MaxHirsch13 in NYC to talk about growing consumer apps.
A couple takeaways:
- Make your own content, find what works, then hire creators to scale it.
- Build in public, keep talking to users and improving the product, not just pushing more content.
What do y'all think of his advice?

Founders are raising money for dinosaurs now
@mitchellsniffle That problem solving fast is the most important skill you need because so many of your strategies and efforts will fail, figure out why and your next plan of action as fast as possible
And if you’re consistently doing that, you’ll find what works in every stage of scaling

Common questions founders must be prepared for when talking to investors:
Why is now a right time for this?
Why are you the right person to build it?
Who needs this badly enough to pay?
What is truly different between you and your competitors?
What is the biggest reason this could fail?
How will you acquire customers?

Absolute madman putting $20k into Hot Wheels on @ripcarsio.
What do they know?
@ripcarsio, a Hot Wheels pack gacha on @solana, went live around 16:30 UTC today.
So far the $50 Collector pack is carrying the dollar volume. It has been opened 802 times for $40.1K, about two thirds of everything paid in. The $20 Garage tier sits at $13.7K, and the $5 Starter tier is the most-opened pack at 1,418 but adds up to $7.1K.
Early spend is concentrated in a small group. One wallet has put in $19,920, about a third of the total, and the top five wallets make up 58%. The median buyer has spent $65, and 41 of the 119 wallets are at $20 or less.

Flew from SF -> NYC to take a few meetings and pop by this event.
It's becoming increasingly clear that @MetaDAOProject is a great product for consumer app builders.
You get a pot of money and a group of people that want you to win (by raising publicly!).
Always happy to talk to consumer folks who want to scale but don't want to raise from VCs 🤙
Thank you @JosephKChoi for the invite!

The problem with cold outreach isn't that it's cold.
It's that most people ask before giving value.
This person asked me to try their product, star the repo, and follow two accounts.
I didn't know them or why I should care.
The reality is that strangers do not care about you or what you're selling.
They care about themselves and what you can do for them.
Start there.
Be curious about what THEY are doing. Give value based off what they do, aggressively. Then make the ask.

went to @colosseum office for a week
Got dragged by the TCG boys to the San Francisco Card Show👀
MetaDAO content spilling over into Instagram we love to see it
Early-stage startups: PLEASE do the exact opposite.
Hire people who can sell, write, support users, and do whatever creates momentum.
Aka, bring on people with high agency
stop hiring a "growth person"
nobody is a growth person
somebody does outreach, somebody does content, somebody does support
pick one
I dropped everything, why can't you?
Quit your job and go all in on your side project. Do it now to escape the permanent underclass.
