1/ The Metaverse is here, just not evenly distributed.

Here are some of my thoughts on the state of Virtual Reality. #VR

A Thread 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 2/ In 2014-2015, there were 1000 startups all trying to conquer "The Metaverse," on the news that @oculus was acquired by @Facebook. Investors flooded the space with capital and hope.

1/ Just tried @Dharma_HQ. #Crypto Review:

(Boost did not invest in Dharma) 2/ Onboarding:
My cousin @CoulterM sent me a link via twitter. It flipped to the app store. I downloaded Dharma and when I opened the app, I had $5 from Coulter.

1/ @BoostVC just raised a $40m fund after 7.5 years of operation.

👇A thread on things in Venture Capital👇 2/ VC is a business too, and it's being disrupted:
🙏 Building trust online gives accelerated investment timeline
🤝Access online gives accelerated networking, no more proprietary deal flow
🎙️We are all either media companies backed by assets or asset companies supported by media

1/ For the last 5 years, the #VR builders and entrepreneurs have had to beg people to try their experiences. 2/ They had to lug 20 pounds of equipment to pitch meetings, unpack the computer, the sensors and the headset, set it up and then ask people to put a vizor on their heads.

Why do startups die? I have now invested in 330 companies personally or through @BoostVC. I'm not going to claim to be the perfect answer to what makes the perfect recipe for success, but I can tell you the perfect recipe for death.

1/ I was at @ycombinator demo day today, and it made me start thinking about how the internet changed Venture Capital: 2/ Venture Capital used to be about proprietary deal flow. Where you would have asymmetric information that no one else held, and use it to your advantage. In the world of capital consolidation, this worked really well.

1/ Stop calling your project a #DAO. You will get targeted by the SEC. 2/ The DAO was a failed project that lead to the largest fork in Ethereum history. Also $$ was stolen, so don't affiliate your brand with it
