building a strong network has been my
#1
goal since joining crypto full-time in 2022.
PoBD is designed to bring together the best BD minds and accelerate the networking process.
200+ members and 124 are online.
DM if you're interested in contributing.
idea: VC perp bucket indices:
-
@paradigm
(bucket index of $BLUR, $DYDX, $UNI, soon $BLAST)
-
@multicoincap
(bucket index of $SOL, $SEI, $APT, $JTO)
-
@PanteraCapital
(bucket index of $INJ, $ARB, $OMNI, $NEAR)
who is building this and I WILL INVEST
I am looking for a killer to join the
@OmniFDN
BD team:
requirements:
- hustle + resilience & entrepreneurial mentality
- eagerness to learn
- passion for web3
- strong preference for someone based or willing to move to NY (to work at our office IRL)
if this is u, pls reply.

@Seinetwork
is more ambitious than meets the eye.
It’s not general purpose nor app-specific, but DeFi-specific.
A thread on why Sei has the opportunity to revolutionize the
#DeFi
space 🧵👇
if you’re in your 20s and ambitious, you should join a startup in a fast growing industry where ideally you can become a subject matter expert.
no better environment if learning and growing is your priority.
the best place to start your career in any GTM function is at a desk making cold calls.
there is absolutely nothing glamorous about it
but you are forced into resilience via constant rejection.
this is the
#1
skill required in BD.
the ideal BD

inbox:
zero folders. zero organization.
survival of the fittest.
those who spam and bother me the most will get a response.
v simple. get to the top of the inbox.
1/ After an incredible journey, today marks my final day as a member of the
@Sei_Labs
core team.
My decision to move on is bittersweet, but I am excited for what's to come and believe
@SeiNetwork
's best days are ahead.
A bit about my journey and those who made it happen:
👇🧵
BD dominating the TL rn cuz its a new perspective. historically the top voices on CT have been:
1) technical founders
2) KOLs / influencers
non-founders in web3 have never been vocal and we're finally figuring it out.
the amount of hungry folks in my DMs that are based in India is insane.
incredibly bullish on India continuing to play a massive role in web3 innovation.
DEMO TIME.
watch me quickly move USDT on
@arbitrum
to
@base
via
@OmniFDN
.
shouts
@Sidebot_
for making this happen.
this is the future and it makes me happy.
1/ Excited to formally share that I've joined the team
@OmniFDN
.
A short thread on why I'm incredibly pumped for the opportunity and future at Omni:
@Ethereum
's open liquidity layer.
👇🧵
never understood why ppl do things that are exceptionally miserable / weird like:
1) cold plunges
2) cave diving etc
4) raw milk
3) burning man
if you’re into any of these pls convince me why they are good
my
#1
piece of GTM advice for new web3 teams is to establish trust by ruthlessly associating (via partnerships, joint marketing) with top brands in the industry.
everything (KOLs, ambassador programs, social community / awareness) comes downstream of this.
typical dev interaction with
@ttarsi_
when they discover how
@OmniFDN
works.
if you’re a dev and want to experience this for yourself
hit up me or
@0xMatt1
.
in crypto we are masochists and hate ourselves.
this is why we have our biggest US conf in Denver (disgusting).
and our biggest global conf in Brussels (horrible)
who tf makes these decisions
for whatever reason some ppl seem to take pride in being inaccessible via DMs / TG.
there are exactly zero good things that come from being unresponsive lmao
top 3 things every new BD should do to get ahead:
1. move to a major web3 hub (I am obviously biased to NY, but Singapore, Dubai, etc also good)
2. attend as many local events as possible
3. meet everyone & build a network
grants are decidedly no longer the meta for attracting strong applications. time + reputation are.
here's a running list of what we're offering at
@OmniFDN
what's missing?
the real learning from
@monad_xyz
is not just that they have built a strong community, but that they hired/scaled their team effectively with high quality folks to do so.
TLDR: community-building requires bodies.
crypto BD productivity arc:
year 1 (low): talk to everyone. soak up info like a sponge. hold lots of meetings.
year 2 (medium): build rolodex of trusted contacts. hold fewer meetings.
year 3 (high): use trust to spur action. replace most meetings with TG messages.
4 ideas inspired by the
@OmniFDN
RFP that are currently being built:
- PVP and secondary
@Twitch
betting
-
@telegram
perps
- VC / angel perps
- leveraged predictions markets
if you have an idea and need support across tech, fundraising and GTM, DM me.
if you are building something cool and:
1. are hungry
2. want to access users/liquidity across every L2
3. want to abstract away bridging/asset/wallet complexity for users
4. want to work closely with myself and the experienced
@OmniFDN
core team on tech/GTM
hmu.
From the early days building
@SeiNetwork
, to now at our new orgs
@monad_xyz
&
@OmniFDN
- we have come a long way.
A long overdue first-time IRL meeting with
@0x_Abdul
in NY - a phenomenal leader & dear friend.
it should be no secret that
@arbitrum
's approach to BD is the gold standard.
identify talented teams and ruthlessly support them on fundraising, tech and GTM.
special shouts to
@peterhaymond
and the OGs who built this exceptional machine.
one of the best things about the PoBD chat is that when someone shares a major milestone for their team with the group (i.e. fundraise, product launch, product upgrade)
everyone sets aside their differences and congratulates that person on their success.
study this.
imagine building a dApp that hundreds of millions can access in the palm of their hand immediately with a familiar UI/UX.
the next killer app will be accessed via
@telegram
.
if you also believe this, DM me.
easy. you build with
@OmniFDN
and instantly access all of them.
no more farm-chasing.
no more managing a billion deployments.
more focus on your product.
more focus on acquiring users.
how do I pick what L2 to build on?
do I use Base? or Arbitrum? or Blast? Starknet? How about any of the other 50? But they don't all use the same VMs?
and L2s are hyper competitive, so if I pick the wrong one, I need to shift my business to a new one?
