- Finally hiring for BD @heliuslabs! Youโll be our second BD hire as we enter our next phase of growth after raising our Series B last month. Great comp, remote, and work with a great team. Link to apply in the next tweet

- BD in crypto is such a fun exercise in first principles thinking. Very few good web3 playbooks to pull from. Moats are rare. Market volatility makes planning hard. So many interesting experiments to run on everything from pricing to onboarding to moving upmarket.
- Excited to step into a new role @heliuslabs leading our revenue function. I'm actively hiring for BD and a Strategic Account Manager. Join us if you're looking for an asymmetric bet and a front row seat to work with the largest teams on Solana.
- Celebrating our first wedding anniversary today! ๐ We cancelled our big Indian wedding when there were ~20 US cases, got our marriage certificate, and went to brunch. This is our only wedding photo.
- Some reflections after 3 months at this: โข Have genuinely enjoyed it โข 3 LOIs + 1 IOI so far โข It's not as easy as @laughridge's tweet made it seem ๐ โข There's no manual, best way to learn is via trial and error โข Took this long to land on my target deal criteria...

- LLC setup, CPA hired, splitting time working w/Flock Homes and building Shopify businesses. A good reminder to be flexible on paths to a fixed goal. This setup solves for what I've been looking for - WFH, on my schedule, on interesting projects, in a tax advantaged way.
- Day 1! Inspired by this tweet from @laughridge, I just left my tech job to work on micro PE and multifamily real estate full time.Firmly believe the most certain path to building a high net worth ($10M plus) is buying a small business at a relatively young age. Hereโs a model:
- Building new payment rails is such a great crypto use case of taking out middlemen fees. Every time you swipe your card, all of these providers take a cut. Visa is the 10th largest public company and Stripe is the 6th largest private company in the world.
02:05It is time to end subscription paywalls! Meet @getcode: lets you pay for one article, one livestream or just one recipe. Only pay for what you use! STFU on Solana ๐ฆพ - Have been wondering why there arenโt more women on SMB Twitter, my current theories: โข No matter who you are, you have to be very fortunate to spend months looking for a biz with no/lumpy income โข Itโs hard/expensive to balance running (most) businesses with kids
