Fundraising in web3 isn’t just web2 with a token attached.

On Episode 101, we break down what actually changes when you introduce tokens, interoperability, decentralization, and community ownership into the funding model.

I’m joined by Max Torres, Managing Partner at Taco3 Ventures and former Head of Finance at 0x Labs, where he helped raise $85M across Series A & B.
