Thanks to everyone who attended the Akshay Summit!
We seem to have tapped into something electric. There's a real, bottom-up energy around fixing our culture, food and healthcare systems that acquiesce dying slowly. Excited to watch this space evolve as more founders,…

What founders should know is: PR professionals and journalists help make each others' careers.
As a journalist, your job is to befriend people inside companies, gain their trust and get them to leak content to you.
As a PR person, your job is to befriend journalists to ensure…
Do not hire PR.
They want to "train" you to talk to journos.
But journos hate you!
So this is an obsolete model.
Instead, just hire influencers.
Build your own channel.
And go direct.

There's a great opportunity for someone to write a web3 newsletter for India & invest alongside it.
Newsletters offer depth. Depth wasn't *directly* valuable in web2 but a game changer in web3.

Solana now has a formidable community. This is the sine qua non for any L1.
It would've been futile to work on partnerships etc without this base layer.
With a vibrant community in place, the theme for next year imo is: building coalitions.

Keep announcing the death of Solana — I live for times like this. Adversity is opportunity.

5 things I've found to be true about internet-native work:

I think single person companies will become increasingly common for people who don't want to be (1) employees (2) founders or (3) investors.
These entities will generate revenue (eg., via freelancing), make investments and be holding companies of the person's body of work.
