0- Filter out the noise & BUIDL 🔨

Key takeaways from our AMA at @jericho_gg with @austingriffith from @ethereum

A thread 👇 1- @austingriffith fell in love with smart contracts in 2017 & the idea that it's the vending machine that anyone can access + if written correctly it will live forever.

He built games like galleass.io but found his place in the ecosystem building tools & tutorials.

0- Tough-skinned entrepreneurship

Key takeaways from our AMA at @theforge_land with @twobitidiot, founder & CEO at @MessariCrypto

A thread 👇 1- @MessariCrypto started in late '17 during the ICO run-up.

They wanted to build a better data library to track the progress vs. claims from some of the big ICO projects, and that turned into the backbone for the asset profiles you see on their website today.

1/ Château de Chambord is the most surprising and monumental of the French castles. Built during the 16th century by Francis I, this masterpiece stands as a symbol of the royal power and the French Renaissance.
The perfect castle 🏰 2/ Chambord was built on a swamp. The foundations counted for half of its total budget.
Francis I wanted to show France was still in the game. France's greatest minds & craftsmen proved they could take up the challenge of defying nature by building a gigantic castle on a swamp.

This crisis can cost you a lot if you’re optimistic right now.

Nobody has a clue when this will end & adapting to good news is much easier than adapting to bad news.

Thread: How to build the next @zenlyapp

A couple of months ago, we had the incredible chance to host an event at @_TheFamily with @an21m, CEO @zenlyapp, interviewed by @Rhai_Gb 🔥

Key takeaways 👇 1) 2011: Phones & timing (no one had a picture on LinkedIn, afraid of seeing it on Google) were bad.

It took them 2y of R&D to train the real-time location algorithms.

@an21m was the guinea pig.

Every day, he was running around a district w/ 5 phones to test the algorithms.

Why focus+intensity is the combo you are looking for: Focus is about saying no - one famous fruit lover once said.
Focus is about constantly repeating yourself & remembering what truly matters in your life/job, knowing where your top top priorities are.

Thread: The @OpenClassrooms story: Teaching tomorrow’s skills w/ @m_nebra, Cofounder 🔖
We were honoured to have Mathieu at @_TheFamily with @emiliebmaret!
Here are the key stories & learnings of this fireside chat 👇
#edtech #education #MOOC #onlinecourses 1/ Openclassrooms started in 1999 as a side project out of frustration bcs he struggled finding resources online to make a website.
The courses were always free.
They monetized 1st through ads but it prevented people from learning.
So they focused on a subscription model.

0/ Thread: Learnings from @RonConway at @_TheFamily 😇
👉 Insights from the "Godfather of Silicon Valley": How Ron started? What @svangel looks for in a founder/in a startup? What is good angel investment?
That was a hell of a meetup 🎉 1/ In 1994, @svangel decided to only invest in Internet startups, Netscape wasn’t even here, there were only 100 companies back then. They stayed focus, didn’t get distracted and it's why they had success for such a long time. 💻
