If you want an intro to @TheLazySol, let me know asap. @Amystreet and I have never gotten more requests to meet one of our founders. The response to every intro has been “impressive.” Tony has built quite the following of early believers.

How can a startup accelerator that doesn’t take equity survive? @SuperteamUSA is betting on social capital, alignment, and the value of relationships. Here’s my take on what it means and why it made me say “I want in!”

I genuinely can’t overstate what a MASSIVE win this is for @SuperteamUSA Evan is an absolute force. He’s one of those rare operators who can execute and represent as expert in the room from a plethora of topics. From brand building, community, viral growth, stage presence, live streaming, crypto education, go-to-market strategy, creator ecosystems, ambassador programs, crisis communications, and so much more. The depth of his experience is unreal. He came out to speak at our Go-To-Market Bootcamp in May, and after his session he stayed for hours helping one of our portfolio teams rethink their positioning and brand strategy. It wasn’t part of the agenda. He just wanted to help. By the end of the day, everyone in the room knew we needed him in the orbit. Now, we’re so proud he’s officially joining the Superteam USA team. This is the caliber of talent we’re assembling. We’re building something incredibly special, and we’re just getting started. Superteam USA to zillions. 🇺🇸

Why We Ship: The Non-Technical Developers of @DoubleZero & @MalbecLabs_xyz @CailinDoran came from theater and @eden_ from ocean conservation, two routes nobody plans into crypto infrastructure. Now they're the storytellers at DoubleZero and Malbec Labs, translating deeply technical work and bringing infrastructure once reserved for big tech and Wall Street to the Solana ecosystem.

I’m taking my talents to South Beach as advisor of narrative strategy & founder performance @SuperteamUSA There’s never been a better time (or place) to build. And accelerating founders for zero equity is a mission I can get behind. The best startups are @solana. Join us.
