Today is a bad day for the entire crypto — Trump has made it possible to crash the entire market. ➠ #BTC -12% ➠ #ETH -16% ➠ #XRP -53% ➠ #LTC -60% ➠ #OP -77% ➠ #TRUMP -79% ➠ #STRK -83% ➠ #WLFI -60% ➠ #AVAX -70% ➠ #DOGE -62% ➠ #NEAR - 48% LONG orders worth almost $10

10/ Final thought: Capital is a tool, not a trophy. The goal isn't to raise the most. It's to build something that lasts. We've seen too many good teams waste good capital. Don't let it be you.

9/ If you've raised $2M-$10M, ask yourself: 📌 Can we survive 36 months at current burn? 📌 Do we have real PMF or just hype? 📌 Are we solving a problem or chasing narratives? 📌 Can we explain our path to $50M+ revenue? If any answer is "no" → fix it before it's too late.

8/ The Counterintuitive Truth: Projects that raise $500K and stretch it for 24 months often outperform those that raise $5M and burn it in 18. — Why? Constraints force: — Laser focus — Resourcefulness — Real customer validation — Lean operations

7/ What We Tell Our Portfolio: ✅ Extend runway to 36+ months (not 18-24) ✅ Hire slowly, fire fast ✅ Obsess over 1 metric (usually TVL or active users) ✅ Launch fast, iterate faster ✅ Compliance first, scale second

5/ Problem #4: Ignoring Unit EconomicsYou raised $5M. Investors expect 10x return = $50M+ exit. But your CAC = $500 LTV = $300 You're losing $200 per customer. At scale, you're just... losing money faster. Lesson: Fix economics BEFORE scaling. Capital masks problems, doesn't

4/ Problem #3: Feature Creep on Steroids With "unlimited" budget, scope explodes: — Mobile app (wasn't in roadmap) — AI integration (buzzword chasing) — 5 blockchain integrations (was supposed to be 1) Result: Launch delayed 12 months. Market moves on. Lesson: Capital doesn't

3/ Problem #2: The Hiring Spree Trap Flush with cash, founders hire aggressively: ❌ "We need a CMO" ($200K/year) ❌ "Let's get a CTO" ($250K/year) ❌ "Growth team of 5" ($500K/year) 18 months later: Product still isn't launched, cash is gone. Lesson: Hire for execution, not

2/ Problem #1: Burn Rate Amnesia$5M sounds infinite when you're used to bootstrapping. Reality check: — Team of 10 = $100K/month minimum — Marketing = $50K/month — Infrastructure = $30K/month — Legal/compliance = $20K/month You're bleeding $200K+/month. That's 25 months runway.

1/ The brutal truth: Raising $5M feels like winning. Your investors are happy. Team is celebrating. Press releases go out. But statistically, you just entered the danger zone. Here's why:

Why 90% of Crypto Projects Fail After Raising $5M Most founders think raising capital = success. We've seen 100+ projects raise $5M-$20M and implode within 12 months. Here's what actually kills them 🧵

DeFi's evolved past "one dollar, one yield stream." We just published our research on liquidity unit reuse — how $1 can earn from multiple revenue streams simultaneously. But we discovered a catch: a new trilemma emerges. Read our analysis 👇 https://t.co/4DIxbi7EUc

#RWA WLFI launches USD1 on Mantle — not because of TPS or gas fees. Because of end-to-end compliance stack: licensing, KYC, legal structuring, audit monitoring, compliant UI. Lesson for RWA builders: Your bottleneck isn't technical. It's regulatory navigation. $26B →

Beyond networking, conferences break you out of your bubble. Everyone exists in their own market bubble. Traders see one thing, builders another, KOLs something else. Cross-perspectives = real market understanding.
