I sold my company for 20 mil right around the time nfts were going crazy.
Worked on it for 5 years and had raised a few mil in VC money to get us there. All the fundraising was pre-covid, so my cofounder and I would fly all around the country to meet with VC's and family offices as opposed to zoom calls. Met a ton of people that way and this run was where I learned to pitch and how to build software that users love and grabs investor attention.
I've been happily out of the VC world ever since then, but I'm gonna make the rounds again this week with a direct pitch for @AgentNyla. It just feels right and legit investors in the mix can open even more doors for the team. Memecoins have been my thing for a long time but it never felt right sharing these with IRL networks because most won't get it. However, latching onto a legit tech product at the ground floor is something I'll comfortably shill IRL as there is something very real and very useful here that traditional startup vc's and angels can easily wrap their head around and deploy funds into.
The amount of paper napkin ideas that VC's will throw money at near 2-3M valuations is insane... IYKYK. Which is why I feel like the appetite to grab supply %'s of a very well built product that works in prod, with a passionate community, a great dev team, sick branding and crystal clear scaling plan at that same level is an absolute no brainer.
These institutional investors and HNW individuals just need exposure to the idea. I'll help onboard them to Solana so they can get in.
Venmo of Web3 is a snap buy for many of these people imo. Absolutely massive opportunity as crypto adoption only gets bigger. It makes more sense every single day. Layer in the fee generation and the multi-platform / multi-blockchain vision and it's a unicorn in the making.
So yeah kinda like @shax_btc is building in public, I guess I'm shilling in public and this is my game plan.
This week we'll design/create legit fundraising materials that will nail the messaging about the opportunity & hit private inboxes so people have a chance to "be early".
Then will go public with it on Facebook & LinkedIn the week after. Unconventional, I know, but fuck it we ball. Whatever it takes.
The devs keep shipping at a ridiculous pace and the branding creates an emotional connection which supercharges the whole deal. I think grabbing supply here can legit change many lives, so realistically it feels like an obligation to spread the word while it's low.
2 weeks to 20M mcap would be nice.
Might as well try to make it happen.
So I hope you grabbed the 3M dip anon.
It's time to send $NYLA for real.
@gordongekko I paid the cost, @gordongekko Now I'm comfortable and free. Crypto becomes a game you've got the privilege to play after you've paid your dues and mastered emotions. Rock Solid Resolve.
