Everything LinkedIn is doing now screams: 'let us get more money from you while we are still here'.
That also means the time of decentralized, self-custodied digital reputation assets is coming. And we at WIP are trying to catch the wave.
Your 9-to-5 job is dying.
By 2034, it'll be extinct.
That's Reid Hoffman's latest prediction – the founder of LinkedIn who predicted the rise of social media in 1997.
Here's what he said next:

Which, frankly, is a good idea anyway because there is just a lot of noise in the environment."

...they cryptographically sign it on the blockchain. So that it can be validated that it is actually content from them. Then, I think we have to reach an understanding that we're just going to have to write off everything else we see.
🙋 Why I started @socap_ai (YC W23) as the top YC founder and what’s next
Thanks all for the support during last week’s @socap_ai (YC W23) announcement! A lot of you were curious why I decided to start it after transitioning from CEO to a Board Member at @mightybuildings (a top @ycombinator company) — here’s why 👇
I’m a rare founder who has been at the other side of the venture table (just to remind you, I started as a VC having founded a number of firms — Ruvento Ventures, EnchantVC, and HaxAsia to name a few — and have famously invested in 2 unicorns out of 17 seed investments while at Ruvento).
Being a VC was fun and all, but I wanted a more interesting challenge. When we started Mighty, I couldn’t have imagined how complicated this road would be. As a deep tech company, we needed to raise A LOT of funding and needed to raise it fairly quickly. So far, Mighty has raised over $150M all the way from YC W16 to Series B in 2023.
During this journey, I learned from the best of the best — at the YC Series A program and from the unicorn founders who have angel invested in us/advised us. Hundreds of people have helped me along the way with their generous feedback and, most importantly, intros/connections. I don’t think we would have been able to get there if not for my meticulous approach to parallel fundraising and activating/growing my social capital.
I started @socap_ai (YC W23) because I grew tired of seeing founders completely misunderstanding what the successful fundraise looks like as well as lacking a quality way of growing their network. Oftentimes it’s a one-time opportunity and if you fuck up the process, that’s it. My mission with this is to change the mindset and make it 10x easier with the help of AI and the right kind of infrastructure (e.g. community).
The tech startups scene and fundraising as the use-case is just the beginning for @socap_ai (YC W23) — I, my partner @ednevsky, and our team (former VC associates and finance leaders) are so well-connected and well-versed in this beachhead market segment, that it would be stupid to start anywhere else, especially seeing founders pain every single day (I get around 50 connection requests daily from founders seeking help).
I’m proud that along with the official https://t.co/fY7t0gBtfv announcement we have started hosting regular https://t.co/fY7t0gBtfv fundraising bootcamps as the initiative where founders can learn from me and a slew of other top founders (@MichaelandMa, @slyjacklee, @aahholm, @Chung, @bykahlil to name just a few, there are dozens more whom I'll tag in the coming posts) — for free. We’re pioneering a more streamlined way for these top founders to share their social capital and help companies/founders they like, all powered by the AI platform we’re currently beta testing.
Excited to kick off our bootcamp cohort #1 this Thursday — we’ve already started sending out first cohort acceptance letters — check them out if you applied!

Reading "Read Write Own" by @cdixon from @a16zcrypto has really got me thinking about how the internet and its problems are a reflection of our daily lives and issues.
Must read for all non-internet-natives!

@SuperteamIL@solana
As promised, put together my thoughts about the State of Israel as an example of 'The Network State' concept by @balajis, and how Work Identity could be at the core of forming the future. Enjoy!

Since becoming a part of the Solana community, I no longer have an excuse to put off reading @balajis Srinivasan's 'The Network State', which has been on my to-read list for a while.
