Hear me out. Why would you spend $1k to get started on a Web3 game when you can buy a PS5 for less and play great games?

Owning digital property in games is a powerful primitive but thinking users will just come to earn is not enough or sustainable if the game is not fun to play

When you pitch your startup:
— Subconscious Ventures (@Subconscious_VC) May 11, 2022
1) Own the room
2) Be clear and concise
3) Share a key insight earned
4) Share what key learning you hope to get

Founders, when things go well for your startup over the next 6 months, what roles will you need to hire?
— Subconscious Ventures (@Subconscious_VC) April 26, 2022
Start conversations now with those people previously successful in that role.
It will help you better recruit, judge and hire the right folks when ready.
We funded two startups this week.
— Subconscious Ventures (@Subconscious_VC) April 21, 2022
Both solve real problems. Both are female led.
Generally speaking, most VC’s read their own email, especially those that aren’t GPs.

If you haven’t gotten them to review your pitch deck, try something new, but keep on trying!
Why we invested in Aramid I got to know Paul pretty well over a series of coffees and zoom chats over many months. I really enjoyed partnering with him on his pitch deck and strategizing on the round together. I learned a tremendous amount from Paul during our conversations.
Raising Capital: The Process is a Flywheel there is more to raising capital than a pitch deck and evidence of traction ....... their interest is far more than financial. They seek impact. ...... raising money isn’t analogous to the Sales Funnel throughout you just churn contacts until you close your round, it’s more like a flywheel: a cycle with which, over time, your impact grows, and delivers greater value and opportunity to investors. ......... first noting in The Western Druggist, in 1899, that the function of advertising was “to catch the eye of the reader, to inform him, to make a customer of him.” Little more than a decade later, his thesis developed, noting that advertising is meant “to attract attention, awaken the interest, persuade / convince.” .......
Correct!

7 ๐books every startup founder should read:
— Paul Griffiths .eth (@paul_griffiths) May 14, 2022
1. A book
2. Any book
3. Literally any book
4. Ideally a non-business book
5. Like fiction, or poetry
6. But I’ll take anything
7. Except Jordan Peterson or Ayn Rand
What others would you add?
I agree. Reading has to be part of your routine, like yoga, or working out, or meditation, or eating, sleeping.

Elon Musk's Fight With The Algorithms
Very important to fix your Twitter feed:
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 14, 2022
1. Tap home button.
2. Tap stars on upper right of screen.
3. Select “Latest tweets”.
You are being manipulated by the algorithm in ways you don’t realize.
Easy to switch back & forth to see the difference.
