The very few that actually support will force me to win bigger, those who doesn’t are my fuel to never stop, and the majority on the sidelines - well I guess they’ll just regret it.
Tattoo this to your brain:
"The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”
– Marc Andreessen

#2 Navi AI by @AmberWe1ch
Your all-in-one financial, legal, and compliance navigator.
NaviAI is building a tool that serves the very ethos of Web3 and the hundreds of companies working to improve society using emerging tech.
Founders don't know what they don't know which makes understanding risk around their finances, as well as regulation and compliance a tricky situation. With NaviAI, you have access to a legal team, a compliance officer, and a CFO all at your fingertips through AI/ML everyday conversation.
Closing that list with Permissionless Capital personal choice of the most promising startup is @r3vl_xyz .
Reveel is building the first omnichain ID that can enable cross-chain payments.
A truly universal payments network by making easy to send funds to anyone, anywhere, on any chain!
Reveel is already receiving acclamations & was a winner of the PBW Startup Competition, getting to pitch Tim Draper on the main stage.
With over 70k users & $3M in TPV, in just 5 months, Reveel is quickly becoming a leader in the onchain P2P payments space
Since there were a lot of other great startups, most are post-revenue and after their first round of investment, and backed by Outlier ventures, Chainlink, Polygon, Solana and other great backers,
we decided to give relevant invesors access to them, so if you are looking for Seed stage deals, message us on Telegram @ PermissionlessCapital.
Thanks for everyone that participated, see you in the next one!
Startups are very very hard which is why founders must be incredibly strong. It is not one spectrum of optimism vs pessimism.
You must neither put your head in the sand, nor give up hope.
True resilience is the Stockdale paradox
@bchesky is an inspiration, both for creating a blue ocean market and delivering state of the art products & experiences.
@cdixon said once, that when a product is disrupting a behavior - (like Amazon disrupted physical shopping),
Then there are two extremes that will get the biggest share of the market,
The cheapest & fastest Vs Ultra-premium versions.
You can buy a suit at Walmart or high-end tailor.
AirBnB is now taking both sides.
Both the cheapest & fastest, AND the ultra-premium version.

Excellent show @bchesky
In a time where everything has become online, Airbnb shows us the wonder and delight of being in real life
