1/ We all have an origin story. Today I’m happy to share part of mine and what led to @amelaclub

We stand in front of a complex problem, the women founder conundrum, but also in front of one of the most underestimated opportunities of all times 😍

@napogeof Elon Musk is an incredibly destroyer of value. Not only of Twitter , but now of Tesla as well … Shame shame

Over the last 3 years, I became obsessed with our food waste problem. So @htannenbaum and I started @mill, a practical, new system to prevent waste, making it easy to take steps at home that are better for our kitchens and our planet.

My hot take on the recently published Guardian's article, the winners in all this and what we're doing at @ZeruEarth in order to scale the #CDR industry, more important than ever https://t.co/MInAnOnuhL

The future of Venture, of innovation, and problem solving, might as well start from a more diverse group of investors, that represent us all as a beautiful heterogenous society.

Tomorrow and the next few days will be awesome if you want to learn about VC, porfolio formation ...

'You are the only black VC we could find in Australia'

It's true - we dont have black representation in Australian venture capital.

That's why I'm excited for @IncludedVc's #RISEInVC summit for black excellence in Venture Capital 👇🏾

Great takeaways from the momentous your of digital #carbon in 2022, what we can expect from #ReFi in that regard, mitigation vs removals ?
If you know me, you know I’m all in for removals , and that’s what we will be optimising for at @ZeruEarth in 2023

Incredible showcase of gaming founders and the @BackedVC gaming portfolio @openprotocolnow with @Psycheout86, @abearschmitt and @HilmarVeigar. Thanks to @algovc for moderating #OPSlush22

@kamal_kapadia @_david_ho_ We need to talk Kamal! There is real value on cooperation when you remove the get rich schemes (similar to the .com era where so many companies should not have been created either). New forms of governance, and incentivising. Transparency (which lacked in FTX) and other benefits

[David Contreras @cont_davi]

💯 Our thesis at @ZeruEarth is that climate can be a huge on-ramp towards web3. And we don’t even really have to tokenise Carbon for that. Now that the fire has weed out the speculators, real utility will emerge. Climate service and action accelerated

[Sardius @0xSardius]

Crypto won't die from neo-bankers playing games.

Use cases I'm still stoked for:

- Social Tokens
- DAOs
- Tokenized carbon markets
- DeSci
- DeFi
- and more!

If anything, current events intensify the value proposition of all the true, decentralized innovation going on

[David Contreras @cont_davi]

@HelenaMerk Or maybe it’s just my web3 take haha. They need a token!

[David Contreras @cont_davi]

@HelenaMerk I want to believe that it’s the community that Jasper has built , but given so many startups chasing the same thing, maybe not a moat in itself. Definitely have some fuel now , and buying competitors already. What are your thoughts ? https://t.co/dWHudwNdZx
