1/ We're thrilled to announce @lightspeedvp's Series A investment in Forage (@InsideSherpa), the future of job search. Here's more on what makes Forage so special:
3/ Forage helps candidates "try before they buy" and understand what roles they’re NOT interested in, while simultaneously allowing people to connect directly to a recruiter on their platform if the recruiter likes what they submitted in the course
4/ Forage makes employers the authors of courses. There’s no better job authority than the employer itself. With Forage, candidates know the credential is strong b/c employers are the author - and they actually expect to hire, not just market their product, through the course.
5/ Forage helps recruiters save time. Rather than rely on outbound sourcing or resume book reviews to find candidates, employers who post a course generate a qualified pipeline of candidates. These candidates have already demonstrated interest and knowledge of their company. ⏱️
6/ Forage evens the playing field. Forage democratizes access to information about careers and access to recruiters. Forage succeeds when recruiters find amazing candidates who they wouldn’t have found otherwise. 💎
Imagine you find the wallet address that owns a NFT you want. You want to ask if they'll sell, but you don’t know the owner. So you go to discord, post the NFT, & hope the owner sees it
DAOs resort to google forms to gather info from members
Communicating based on #crypto holdings is huge for business too.
Marketers will contact crypto holders literally based on what’s in their wallet.
As many have said this could paid too, transferring CAC to end users.
Polished wallet identities may be the new social profile.
2/ Every major tech shift has brought forth a new wave of consumer tech companies.
web1: the internet led to AOL, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Netflix, Pandora
web2: mobile led to Twitter, Uber, Facebook, AirBnB, WhatsApp, Snap
3/
Today's crypto consumer companies in web3 are being driven by applications in art, music, and sports.
Despite reaching pop culture status, there aren't many mass market brands that have become household names except perhaps Coinbase, OpenSea, Yuga Labs/BAYC, Metamask
15k people at ETH Denver. i just returned from the largest year EVER as crypto goes mainstream
people still ask, why all the hype? what does blockchain actually solve?
7 problems that blockchains actually solve 👇🏾
1. Security for Scaled Blockchains
Blockchains that reach critical mass are hard to hack. Communities validate new additions, so in PoW models, you need 51% of validators' computing (hashing) power to control which txns post on-chain & unconfirm txns. In PoS, 51% of staked tokens
2. Double spend issue on internet
Provenance and original ownership is solved because you can’t sell the same asset twice to two people because each transaction is recorded for all to see on chain. This makes it easier to verify ownership and provenance (chain of custody).
