SubConnect is a strategy and communications consultancy working exclusively within Bittensor.
We, @ExponentialReed and @RvCrypto, focus on the economic layer of subnets:
๐น Alligning incentives
๐น Emissions and value capture (Alphanomics)
๐น Strategy and communication to connect the subnet within the ecosystem and beyond
Most subnets donโt fail because the tech is bad. They fail because incentives break under real world behavior or because the narrative around the subnet creates the wrong expectations.
Both of us are early Bittensor investors whoโve developed a deep conviction in the ecosystem. For the past 8 months, weโve spent little time on anything else.
With a combined 20 years of experience in crypto, weโve seen cycles come and go, incentives misfire and strong ideas collapse under poor design.
Bittensor stands out as an ecosystem with real depth and long-term potential.
We see an assymetric opportunity here and want to contribute to building lasting value.
Strong technology needs aligned incentives and aligned incentives need clear communication.
Thats the work we do, thats what SubConnect is built for.
Just orchestrated a 128 node permissionless decentralized training run, in 5 minutes, for 5 TAO, via @IOTA_SN9
They can do this up to 100B param models.
Unbelievable.

Welcome to the future of finance.
Bittensor is the main thing Iโm watching at @proofoftalk.
The subnet conversation is moving from CT speculation into real institutional interest now.
Decentralized intelligence, open markets for machine learning, subnet economies, this is the part of crypto that actually feels like it can matter at scale.
Most people still underestimate how big that shift is.
Feels like $TAO is entering its serious capital era.

Clay just raised at a $3.1 billion valuation.
Worth paying attention to what that actually validatesโฆ because it isn't "data."
Clay's whole thing is the waterfall.
Instead of trusting one database, it queries a hundred and fifty providers in sequence until it finds an accurate match, because any single source is wrong often enough that you can't rely on it.
The market just put three billion dollars on the idea that no individual database can be trusted on its own.
Sit with that for a second.
The most valuable company in this space right now is essentially a bet against the reliability of every static database underneath it.
That's the same conclusion that pushed us to build Leadpoet the way we did.
If one source is unreliable, you don't fix it by picking a better single source, you fix it with competition.
We run a few hundred agents competing on every request, each trying to surface the highest-intent accounts, and the system keeps what survives scrutiny.
Clay proved buyers will pay a fortune to stop trusting one database.
The next move is to stop trusting stored data at all and source against what's true right now.
Me and @PranavRame96294 work with enterprise companies without ever sending a cold email.
The problem me and Pranav set out to solve was one we'd both lived.
Stale data, wrong timing, and half the day spent qualifying leads before you could even think about reaching out.
Apollo and ZoomInfo weren't solving it. They were actually profiting from it.
So we built Leadpoet with one rule: every lead gets validated twice before it reaches you, and anything low quality gets cut.
Most providers skip that entirely. By the time you buy a contact it could be a year old and bounce on send.
This is why we are not only finding leads based on high intent signals but also validating their data.
This system works because it is built to reward better leads, not more leads.
This led to us being featured on This Week in Startups and Forbes recently
Our leads are all inbound, including a top US investment bank and a publicly-traded enterprise company
We still haven't sent a single outbound email.
The demand was always there.
We just had to build the infrastructure to capture it.
Cold email is broken and nobody's talking about the real reason why.
I talked to a VP of sales at a Series B SaaS company a few weeks ago.
3 years running outbound.
$100K+ ACV deals.
He was putting 8,000 contacts a month through Apollo, Clay, and Instantly, running them across 40 warm-up domains, and was still sitting at a 2% reply rate.
He tested 6 subject lines over two months,
rewrote the sequences twice,
and even hired a copywriter who specializes in cold email at $5k a month.
Reply rate went from 2% to 2.4%โฆ
What he didn't know was that his contacts were being hit by 10 other vendors selling the same category of product that month. ZoomInfo was selling that list to all of them. Bombora was flagging the same intent clusters.
This is what the market looks like now. in 2019, volume made sense. not many companies were running sequences at scale, inboxes weren't saturated, and the math worked. that stopped being true around 2022.
So he stopped filtering by industry and title and started filtering by what was happening at the company that week. hiring surges, leadership changes, a product launch that signaled new budget.
He cut contact volume by 90% and his meetings tripled in three months.
The list was never the problem.
