Great piece - appreciate the transparency on past performance and openness on learnings and focus going forward. Congrats and good luck with Fund III!

Loved the article. It is a brilliant example of a mindset I increasingly value, that I’ve started calling “prefuturism” -- showing your work AND taking risks so that (whether or not you “succeed”) all of us can do better next time around.

Thank you for your transparency, humility, and courage. Good luck!

Love the article!

Ditto on our side. As a pre-seed startup looking for a strategic partner in the web3 space, where can we apply?

You go to Crunchbase or other site. Find a founder in the Not Boring portfolio, and find a genuine way to connect with them. Have a few conversations. You request the intro to Not Boring Capital, and they give you the intro. Even if they have an apply form, which is the only thing Packy could leave here, the above is the approach you really want to be taking if you want to make it through the noise, and is likely the approach I will take if we need capital again in a few months :) (p.s. sorry in advance to any Not Boring portfolio company, but them's the breaks of success!)

On the face of it it sounds better than applying through form/cold approach but why would a founder make an intro? Need to find some really good reasons to not waste the time of founders. Also not sure what percentage of founders are really open to making intros without knowing someone properly.

Why indeed would a founder make an intro? That's the secret, and why a genuine connection NOT related to fundraising is important :)

Best of luck!
