Doug Leone is one of a kind. Here he explains @sequoia's hiring philosophy in 65 seconds:
��If you’re desperate, it’s a great asset.”
“We look for highly imperfect human beings […] the quirky kids, if you will […] not the quarterback of the football team or the female equivalent of that, but people who have a bit of an edge, people who have something to prove, people who need to win.”

I'm super curious if revolut gets accepted in the US. One constant around all the charter rejections have been the fact they were all international aplicants trying to come to the US market?
yeah man this is completely untrue. hes my roommate and friend - i feel awful that he got caught up in this by association.
i have no ownership and i was going to do an angel check but will likely hold off.
i also know the source for this - its the same person that has affected movement as well.
happy to dm you and provide you with any materials you need but please do not spread misinformation for the sake of clicks - especially for a project that hasn't even started yet.
been a brutal few weeks.
lots of rumors circulating and internal drama. im excited to start clearing stuff up, reveal the story, and clear my name, starting with this article.
honestly, mistakes were made. we trusted wrong advisors, mms, and folks going into a bear market. i personally trusted opportunistic administrators who acted as shadow decision makers behind the decisions with their own financial motives.
these same representatives are the ones who broker deals, run financial treasuries, make hires, and "negotiate deals" behind the scenes while letting others take the blame.
founders: please work with reputable firms that don't run their own agendas - their job is paperwork, not negotiations.
movement has deviated far from the dream i had and it hurts me to see it like this. however, im still hopeful for the future of the ecosystem and helping our builders is largely where my current role is. the foundation team has appointed a team to handle operations on the token side and i get to go back to what i love doing.
few bullets:
1) i have not personally OTC'd or sold a penny. movement was raising venture rounds and like other funding rounds, i was the primary fundraiser. any capital formed was via that route for the growth of the movement ecosystem.
2) any MM decisions were approved and supported by the entire foundation team. there were bad parties involved that corrupted the process (by representing both sides to profit) and the team is in the process of investigating.
more to come soon.
3) i do not have any additional projects or advisories. the same "legal" folks are the ones spreading misinformation to the anons. i only have movement + angel bags.
im sure the anons will have fun with this piece and would love nothing more to see movement go to zero. i hope for a future where movement comes back united and stronger than ever.
the core team will still be here with movedrop this week, defi incentives kicking off a vibrant ecosystem, and movement NFTs hitting all time highs.
gmove.
