web3 has a value capture problem
so far, we've claimed the need for decentralisation as a means to issue tokens enabling teams/early investors to profit off retail
To capture value we need a new business cartridge: Internet Native Companies

Europe will become the testbed for crypto apps & I’m up for it
Apple will allow iPhone users in the EU to sideload apps starting in the first half of 2024 to comply with new regulations!
Sideloading will allow users to downloads apps from the internet and third-party app stores

what i liked most about geometry?
- the intellectual honesty
- the proximity with research
- the freedom to explore my own ideas (even when they didn't fully fit the mandate)
- helping 3 companies navigate the idea maze
- building a model for what to look for in founders

running a business onchain will become the norm
why?
because blockchains are a superior rails & ethereum will become the back office of companies
