Millennials Need Decentralized Social Media - Here's Why | HackerNoon](https://hackernoon.com/millennials-need-decentralized-social-media-heres-why))
It’s time for decentralized social apps to take over
”It is a tough line to walk my friends; my advice, drape yourself in evidence and occasionally flash them the dream.”
A snippet from my first decentralized blog post, “Views from the dip”.
In it I share some data, anecdotes from my time in VC and advice that may prove instructive to web3 builders.

It is through overcoming our biggest obstacles that we build conviction in ourselves and our broader mission.
Another tip for founders looking to raise:
You must shroud your pitch in good storytelling: what is the evil you face, what are the virtues inherent to you and your team that will vanquish it, by vanquishing it how do you (and by virtue of this investors) achieve fame and fortune.
But remember; some founders are so convinced by their ability to sell they forget to build conviction through proof. VCs can spot these guys a mile off.

A series of observations about building in uncertain market conditions i'm going to release ahead of my first decentralised blog post (which will be made available as an NFT).
"A good set of decks, intricate excel forecast and extensive data room will do little for you if there is no evidence of underlying demand or no tangible sense of what a product will look like.
It is your job to convince the investor of the reality underpinning your vision.
POCs, pipeline, sign ups, MVPs, an online community...arm yourselves with all the evidence you can to ensure success."
The emergence of many great social products started with cats!
They are the ones really running the shop!

Hey folks.
First post of what I hope will be many to come.
I am going to be very specific with my content focus and target audience.
I aim to support brave, daring and compassionate web3 builders.
I intend to surface some of the insights derived from both my VC activities and my proximity to the exceptional, highly talented family of builders that is the OnChain community.
I hope these may prove instructive to you; helping you to redefine categories, create new ones and propel us onwards towards a more collaborative, and resilient future.
