Members from https://t.co/75pg86bHH2 raised $16B last year.
Here's how. 👇🏻
Step #1: They built relationships while everyone else went into hiding
Most people retreat in markets like this.
They get defensive.
They conserve cash.
They stop showing up.
Our members did the opposite.
They used this window to get closer to founders, investors, operators, and decision-makers while access was cheaper and competition for attention was lower.
That matters because a market like this creates unusual asymmetry:
Many companies are hurting.
Teams are leaner.
Talent is more available.
People are more open to the right conversation.
So while others were waiting for conditions to improve, they were building the relationships that would shape the next cycle.
Step #2: They embraced three core truths
1.) The barrier to entry has collapsed. Anyone can build. Anyone can create. Anyone can provide value.
2.) Your network matters more than ever.
3.) Non-consensus thinkers will have disproportionate upside.
If one thing remains true, it’s this:
Power flows to people with access, conviction, and leverage.
Step #3: They surrounded themselves with exceptional people
The top 1% of thinkers, builders, and innovators naturally converge.
And in times like this, those rooms become even more valuable.
The byproduct of high-trust, non-zero-sum interaction between hungry,
talented people is outsized opportunity.
Better ideas.
Better timing.
Better partnerships.
Better companies.
Create, compete, and build with people who see the world early.
That’s the thesis.

🌟 Member Spotlight 🌟
This week we want to celebrate a member building the infrastructure layer for a more connected onchain financial system.
Meet Philipp Zentner @PhilippZentner 👋
Philipp is Co-Founder & CEO of @lifiprotocol, helping solve one of crypto’s biggest friction points: moving capital seamlessly across chains, assets, and applications.
A serial founder with nearly two decades of experience spanning Web3, SaaS, bioinformatics, and consumer tech, Philipp has built online ventures since 2005, founded multiple companies, and raised over $50M in venture capital.
Today, LI․FI powers 10B+ in monthly volume across 70+ chains, serving 1,000+ institutions, wallets, and protocols including @RobinhoodApp, @binance, and @arbitrum.
This week marked another major milestone with the launch of LI․FI Intents, a product designed to make it dramatically easier for businesses to launch onchain financial products.
From stablecoin payments and real-world assets to compliant liquidity and customizable transaction execution, the vision is clear:
Markets do not care about chains.
They care about access, liquidity, speed, and execution.
This is what our network is all about.
Access is Earned. Keep building.
