I'm often asked where the "consumer applications" are in crypto. The apps are in fact, the assets. I'm more interested in novel use cases of erc-20's & NFTs than recreating what already exists at scale in web 2.

Many of our recent investments at True have been in serial founders often with successful past ventures. Consistent feedback on why they are starting something new now: there is way less competition & distractions, and way more experienced talent available to join their teams.
