A
This
is
a
panel
on
the
opportunities
for
founders
with
Venture
scale
Ambitions,
and
the
objective
of
this
talk
is
to
provide
you
an
overview
of
what's
the
pln
at
large
and
the
pr
Founders
program
specifically
have
to
offer
founders
with
Venture
scale
ambition
all
right.
So,
let's
start
with
you
know
a
round
of
introduction
of
our
amazing
panelists.
Maybe
you
know
at
the
very
back
Jonathan.
B
You
want
to
thank
you,
thank
you,
hey
everyone,
I'm
Jonathan,
I'm,
a
co-founder
of
glyph
I'm,
not
sure
if
you've
heard
of
glyph,
but
we've
built
a
lot
of
critical
apps
and
tools
for
the
filecoin
network,
like
a
wallet,
a
multi-sig
and
we
run
nodes
as
well.
So
if
you
haven't
heard
of
glyph
you're
going
to
hear
it
soon,.
C
Hi
everyone
shikai
here
partner
at
long
hash,
Ventures
at
long
Adventures,
we
bootstrap
ecosystems
and
we're
honored
to
have
been
the
first
accelerator
to
work
with
great
ecosystems
like
polka,
dot,
XLR
and,
of
course,
filecoin
with
protocol
apps.
Since
three
years
ago,
then
three
cohorts
now
we've
accelerated
more
than
70
startups
and
helped
them
raise
150
million
dollars,
collectively
many
of
them
at
unicorn
valuations
already
and
last
year
we
also
announced
our
100
million
fund
focused
on
multi-train
infrastructure.
D
Hey
my
name
is
Luke
I'm,
the
founder
of
filmine.
We
are
a
liquid
taking
protocol
for
Falcon.
We
are
building
a
bunch
of
tools
that
make
life
easier
for
storage
providers,
working
with
great
folks
like
Seagate
and
yeah,
basically
building
a
bunch
of
infrastructure
that
allows
the
Falcon
ecosystem
to
be
much
more
efficient.
E
Foreign
I'm
Gabriel
I'm,
the
founder
and
managing
partner
of
graph
paper
Capital
graph
paper
capital
is
an
early
stage,
web3
accelerator
and
networked
ecosystem,
so
we're
a
network
of
fellow
Founders
and
Builders
myself
I'm
a
three-time
Founder
two-time,
eir
I,
previously
founded
and
built
tachyon,
which
is
a
weapon
accelerator
incubated.
Inside
of
consensus
mesh
we
invested
in
over
90
web
3
companies,
they've
collectively
raised
150
million
it
close
to
a
billion
dollars
in
valuations.
We've
been
a
long
time.
E
F
Thank
you
Gabriel
and
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
Denise
and
I'm
here
to
represent
the
pln
side
of
things.
My
team
is
called
Spaceport
and
we
are
the
super
connectors
in
the
network.
You
can
think
of
us
as
that
Hub
in
a
hub
and
spoke
Network
model.
We
are
here
to
provide
connections,
help
teams
collaborate
with
each
other.
An
example
is
we're
starting
a
new
program
for
Founders
within
the
network
to
support
each
other
get
connected
focused
around
fvm.
F
Two
of
the
teams
within
this
program
were
David
from
lit
protocol
and
T
being
from
ownership
labs,
and
both
of
those
two
teams
came
to
the
pln
Via
long
hash,
so
they're
very
familiar
with
shikai's
work,
and
similarly,
we've
I
personally
worked
very
closely
with
Matt
and
Justin
from
moniverse
they're,
very
familiar
with
Gabriel
and
are
the
reason
yeah
we're
also
big
fans
of
them
at
the
PLM.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
them
in
yeah,
amazing.
A
C
All
right,
yeah
I,
think
firstly,
fvm
enables
a
lot
of
new
ideas,
new
mechanisms
that
previously
were
either
impractical
or
unheard
of
right,
I,
think
things
like
data
dials
things
like
decentralized,
cdns
and,
of
course,
compute
over
data.
So,
of
course
these
were
really
mind-blowing
announcements,
but
what
do
they
mean
right
kind
of
like
what
kind
of
verticals
can
these
affect?
So
a
couple
of
ideas
come
to
mind.
One
is
with
things
like
that
at
ours.
What,
if
currently
with
say,
nft
pfp
communities
we
they
are
very
passive
holders.
C
What
if
we
can
incentivize
them
to
create
content?
So
it's
truly
a
Community
Driven
approach.
Here
we
can
look
again
at
things
like
AI
right,
where
there's
a
lot
of
data
and
compute
that's
required,
and
how
do
you
keep
it?
Let's
say
with
a
self-solvent
basis.
How
do
you
do
that
over
self-solvent
data?
How
do
you
organize
compute
over
a
large
decentralized
Network?
How
do
you
run
the
computations
of
these
models
after
they've
been
trained
in
the
decentralized
and
verifiable
way?
C
E
Ditto
I
agree
with
your
I
said:
maybe
putting
a
story
and
Founder
Hat
on
maybe
I'll
I'll
answer
from
both
sides
of
the
seat,
so
I
think
the
first.
The
first
thing,
that's
really
exciting
is
you
know:
filecoin
is
based
on
real
functional
use
case
right,
which
means
the
demand
is
really
sticky.
It's
not
like
we're
building
another.
You
know,
trading
platform
to
you,
know,
speculate
on
monkey
jpegs
or
something
right
like
there's,
there's
real
actual
demand.
E
Proof
of
physical
work,
I
think,
is
something
that
that
investment
thesis
that
multi
coins
has
come
up
with
I
think
is
really
smart,
and
so,
as
you
layer
in
this,
you
know
programmatic
aspect
of
a
filecoin
via
fvm.
Opening
up
this.
This
open
data
economy,
I
think,
creates
all
new
business
use
cases
which
creates
a
massive
Market.
You
know
I
mean
we
would
venture
to
Guess
that
this
is
going
to
open
up
something.
You
know
it's
orders
of
magnitude.
E
You
know
trillions
of
dollars
worth
of
economic
value,
that's
a
massive
Tam
and
again
it's
highly
sticky,
if
you're
a
Builder
building
in
that
ecosystem,
because
it's
based
on
real
functional
use,
case
right
and
then
so
then.
The
other
thing
that
I
think
about
a
lot
is
as
a
Founder
as
a
builder,
you
don't
want
to
to
be
entering
into
hyper-competitive
markets
like
if
you're,
a
Founder
building
an
AI
or
ml
company
right
now.
Good
luck
to
you!
It's
extremely
competitive
right
now,
but
this
is
a
whole
new
frontier.
E
This
is
a
whole
new
ecosystem.
That's
opening
up
and
the
possibilities
are
absolutely
mind-boggling.
You
know
shikai
mentioned
a
number
of
them,
whether
they
be
data
dials,
whether
they
be
new,
defy
applications,
but
it's
a
whole
new,
primitive
and
I
think
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
first
mover
advantages
in
this
ecosystem,
which
means
you
know
early
Builders,
early
startup.
You
know
Founders
and
developers
sitting
in
this
room.
It's
a
massive
massive
opportunity
and
it's
anchored
to
a
huge
Tam
for
you,
so
I
think
that's
very
exciting.
Amazing.
A
D
Generally,
I
would
like
to
double
down
on
what
Gabrielle
just
said:
I
usually
always
wanted
to
be
part
of
ecosystem.
That
is
super
young
joined
the
ethereum
ecosystem
2017.
We
were
clueless
on
what
we
were
doing
and
basically,
in
an
act
of
desperation,
we
built
a
devtool
because,
like
we
were
developers,
but
actually
it
turned
out
to
be
great
and
that
company
is
valued
at
300
mil
now,
because
we
were
first
and
we
were
focused
on
actually
solving
problems
that
were
there
talking
to
a
bunch
of
viewers
and
just
write
that
Innovation
wave.
D
B
B
Addressable
data,
like
does
that
mean
things
to
people
in
this
room,
content,
adjustable
data
multi-hashing
the
problems
with
location,
address
data,
anyways,
I'll
I'll
skip
the
nerd
out,
but
I've
been
waiting
for
this
moment
since
I
started
building
in
the
ipfs
space,
the
types
of
protocols
and
new
storage
Primitives
that
we
can
build
with
the
fem
and
multi-hashes
are
like
not
possible
to
do
today
anywhere
else
right
so
like
that
type
of
stuff.
Excites
me
when
a
technology
completely
enables
some
other
technology
that
was
impossible
to
come
before
it
so
yeah.
A
All
right,
so,
let's
imagine
you
know
that
we
have
all
of
these
Founders
out
there.
They
are,
you
know,
ready
to
go.
Their
teams
are
burning
to
build.
I,
know
that
you
shikai
and
you
Gabriel,
you
have
something
cooking.
Do
you
want
to
like
share
with
the
audience
what
you
have
planned
a
little
bit
on
the
timelines,
Maybe
be
starting
with
Gabriel
this
time,
yeah.
E
That's
what
our
network
is
primarily
based
off,
so
we
really
want
to
create
the
most
high
leverage,
highly
engaged
Network
for
Founders
building
in
the
space.
So
very
excited
about
that.
You
know.
It'll
obviously
conclude
with
the
demo
day,
but
we'll
give
you
access
to
our
investor.
Network
we've
been
building
that
network
over
years
over
four
or
five
years.
E
Now
again,
we've
previously
backed
over
90
companies
that
have
invested
raised
more
than
150
million
at
close
to
a
billion
dollars
in
valuation,
so
we're
expecting
very
big
things
from
this
ecosystem
and
we
want
to
make
some
significant
Investments
and
Founders
that
are
building
in
this
ecosystem.
So
if
that's
you
we'd
love
to
meet,
you.
C
C
So
all
the
teams
that
are
coming
sorry,
just
just
a
little
bit
on
the
program.
Each
team
that
joins
will
receive
200
000
in
funding
and,
of
course,
with
our
dedicated
Venture
building
support
the
mentorship
support
from
fellow
Builders,
who
are
more
experienced
or
investors
and,
of
course,
workshops
on
the
most
popular
topics
like
product
strategy
and
design.
Let's
say:
tokenomics
governance,
community
building
and,
of
course,
essential
things
like
legal
and
fundraising
and
I'd
like
to
share
a
little
bit
of
an
interesting
thing
as
well.
C
Well,
over
the
years
we
have
been
expanding
our
Network
and
also
trying
to
decentralize
our
Network,
so
we
have
launched
actually
in
the
current
or
the
previous
accelerator
cohort,
what
we
call
the
long
hash
web
a
sobound
token
based
peer-to-peer
repetition
and
contribution
Network.
So
any
of
you
who
joined
the
accelerator
cohort
as
well
as
mentors
and
Scouts
who
contribute
to
the
program
will
have
an
on-chain
social
graph,
and
you
have
an
immutable
evidence.
A
Amazing,
all
right,
so
if
there's
Founders,
you
know
in
the
audience,
there's
a
lot
of
capital
waiting
for
you
a
lot
of
support,
a
lot
of
networks-
and
this
is
not
their
first
radio
I
can
say
by
now.
You
know
these
are
friends.
These
are
partners,
and
so
you
will
be
in
amazing
hands
so
moving
on,
maybe
to
vuc
again
hey,
so
you
have
been
in
an
accelerator
yourself.
A
D
So
I
was
actually
on
both
sides,
so
I
was
able
to
to
see
like
what
was
going
on.
I
mean,
like
you,
should
think
about
accelerators,
like
as
folks
that
actually
like
help,
you
get
all
the
contacts
that
they
are
by
the
way
like
getting
all
the
time
from
like
multiple
locations.
So
they
just
give
you
that,
like
super
fast,
so
like
you,
don't
need
to
be
out
there
as
a
Founder,
you
can
be
building,
and
then
you
can
leverage
like
all
the
connections
that
those
accelerators
have
and
they
can
also
guide.
D
You
like
what
are
like
the
best
ways
of
approaching,
like
fundraising
in
a
particular
Market,
because
that's
what
they
do
all
the
time
and
they
have
done
that,
like
probably
before
the
past
of
years,
and
they
have
a
lot
of
context
on
that.
So
for
us
was
super
useful
because,
of
course,
like
the
context
that
we
got,
but
also
because
of
the
reputation
of
like
the
different
accelerators
that
that
are
out
there.
D
A
B
Absolutely
so
I
mean
just
to
preface
this
like
being
a
Founder
is
awesome,
you
know
you
get
to
build
new
things
and
and
take
risks,
but
being
a
Founder
is
also
really
difficult
and
oftentimes
super
lonely.
You
don't
have
all
the
answers
that
you
need.
You
have
an
experienced
things
that
if
you
had
that
experience,
you
would
know
better
about
what
the
right
answer
was,
and
so
it's
really
important
when
you
start
a
business
that
you
have
Good
Foundations.
B
B
But
if
you
don't
know
the
answer,
there's
no
better
people
to
ask
than
the
people
who
are
in
your
corner,
who
are
experienced
in
legal
intact
and
Technical
in
strategy,
marketing
growth,
you
name
it
and
so
just
being
able
to
have
that
network
attached
to
you
and
and
as
part
of
your
company.
It's
you
know
it's.
It's
invaluable
honestly.
A
Amazing,
so
we
are
throwing
this
word.
You
know
pln
PL
Network
at
you
quite
a
lot
and
we
thought
it
might
be
helpful
to
bring
someone
who's
like
deeply
involved
with.
You
know
crafting
the
the
pln
on
stage
today,
which
is
Denise
and
so
Denise.
Would
you
mind
sharing
a
little
bit
on
like
the
mission
and
the
goal
of
the
pl
network
with
the
audience
yeah.
F
Absolutely
thank
you
and
Jonathan
really
appreciate
the
you
know,
detail
you've
given
into
how
rewarding,
but
also
how
challenging
it
can
be
to
be
a
Founder.
You
know
we're
all
here
because
we're
very
Mission
aligned
with
filecoin
with
fvm.
We
want
to
drive
breakthroughs
in
Computing
in
humanity
through
all
of
these
new
protocols,
New
Primitives
that
we're
creating
and
that's
not
easy,
and
so
once
you've
been
through
an
accelerator
program,
you
understand
how
valuable
they
can
be
even
years
Beyond,
but
as
teams
scale,
your
needs
change.
F
You
have
have
new
challenges
around
going
to
market
around
recruiting
around
taxes
that,
unless
you
have
a
network,
you
can
rely
on
it's
difficult
to
find
the
answers
to
those
questions,
and
so
that's
where
the
pln
comes
in.
We
in
this
room
and
Beyond
have
all
been
through
some
portion
of
those
challenges,
and
we
want
to
pool
all
of
those
resources.
All
of
that
knowledge
to
help
teams
who
are
going
through
it
for
the
first
time,
Juan
and
Molly
have
talked
a
lot
about
Crossing
that
Innovation
Chasm
and
going
through
the
r
d
pipeline.
A
Amazing,
thank
you
for
sharing
yeah
you're
welcome
cool,
so
maybe
returning
briefly
to
Gabriel
and
shikai.
So
accelerator
are
truly.
You
know
a
powerful
entry
point
into
that.
You
know
protocol
Labs,
Network,
I,
guess
what
many
of
the
you
know
Founders
and
builders
in
the
audience
would
like
to
know.
Is
you
know
what
do
I
need
to
bring
as
a
Founder?
What
do
I
need
to
bring
as
a
team
to
even
be
considered
accelerate
already?
Can
you
explore
on
that
a
little
bit?
Maybe
this
time,
starting
with
Chicago
yeah.
C
Sure
thing
actually
we're
very
open
to
Founders
at
a
pretty
early
stage.
I
think
the
minimum
requirement
you
need
is
just
a
clear
idea
and
a
committed
team.
Of
course,
some
nice
to
haves
that
will
maximize
your
chances
of
getting
into
the
accelerator
program
is
some
validation
of
your
idea
right.
If
you've
built
the
MVP
you've
gotten
some
early
users,
You've
Won,
some
hackathon
prizes,
you've
gotten
some
grants.
These
are
all
positive
indicators
but
nice
to
halves.
C
Right
I
think
we
have
accepted
teams
and
Founders
from
like
even
before
that,
like
very
early
idea
stage
and
they've
blossomed
into
fantastic
examples
which
I
guess
we'll
share
in
a
bit
of
time.
Yeah
I,
guess
last
thing
to
one
thing
to
watch
out
for
is
to
because
our
applications
are
not
yet
open,
so
do
follow
our
Twitter
at
long
hvc
and
long
hash
X,
so
that
you
can
get
prepared
whenever
applications
open.
We
one
of
the
first
or
be
prepared
to
submit
it.
E
Yeah
I
mean
at
this
point,
I've
worked
with
mentored
invested
in
first
check
in
with
so
many
Founders.
It's
almost
like
pattern
matching
and
the
things
that
we
look
for
time
and
time
again
are
one.
Can
you
explain
the
unique
Insight
that
you
have
into
the
market
or
into
a
particular
customer
into
their
need
into
the
problem
that
you're
solving
like
and
and
truly
articulate
it
not
with
a
bunch
of
buzzwords
or
hype
words,
but
like
really
using
the
minimum
amount
of
words
necessary?
E
Like
do
you
have
a
true
handle
on
the
market
that
you're
entering
into
the
second
thing
that
I
always
look
for
that
we
we
always
look
for
is
is
the
an
understanding
of
why
you?
What
do
you?
You
know?
What's
your
domain
expertise
or
you
know,
maybe
you
have
a
personal
story
of
having
to
overcome
that
grit
that
perseverance,
that
it
takes
to
build
a
company
as
Jonathan
said,
I
mean
you
know,
I've
done
this.
Oh
God
I
keep
saying
three
times
four
times
now.
E
It's
never
easy.
I
mean
you
know,
it
is
the
most
birthing
a
company
doing
anything.
Creating
anything
and
bringing
into
the
world
takes
a
tremendous
amount
of
effort
and
grit
and
perseverance
and
having
to
overcome
challenges
and
I.
Think
probably
everybody
in
the
stage
has
had
to
do
that.
Many
of
you
sitting
out
here
have
had
to
do
that
and
so
I.
We
just
look
for
that.
E
You
know
and
then
is
there
any
kind
of
a
semblance
and
traction
and
if
there's
not
traction,
what
have
you
built
or
what
have
you
created
previously
that
we
can
kind
of
look
to
in
in
your
past
I
think
those
are
the
kind
of
like
the
three
Hallmarks
of
what
we
look
for
and
not
for
us
to
select
you
or
choose
you
or
invest
in
you.
You
should
be
doing
that
yourself,
anyways
right,
like
in
order
to
make
sure
that
you
have
the
highest
probability
of
success.
E
E
A
You
for
sharing
cool
all
right,
starting
to
get
back
to
you
know
our
Founders
CL
Builders.
So
what
message,
if
you
had
one
message
that
you
could
you
know,
send
out
there
to
the
audience
to
you
know
the
builders
that
are
out
there
like
what
message
do
you
have
specifically
relating
to
Fem
like?
Why
should
folks
be
excited
right
now
you
spoke
to
it
a
little
bit
Luke.
So
maybe,
let's
start
with
Jonathan
for
that.
B
One
sure
so
yeah
just
to
build
off
my
my
last
answer
about
like
the
fvm,
enabling
things
that
were
previously
impossible,
like
I,
think
it's
quite
interesting
to
take
Innovation
from
other
blockchain
networks
and
bring
them
into
filecoin.
I.
Think
we'll
see
a
lot
of
that
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
That's
there's
value
in
that
too,
but
there's
there's
certain
parts
of
filecoin
and
the
fvm
that
when
you
look
close
enough,
you
realize
they
cannot
be
done
anywhere
else.
B
There
is
not
another
technology
in
the
world
that
does
this,
and
you
know
what
we
all
know
in
this
room.
The
technology
is
not
perfect.
It's
not
there.
Yet
there's
a
long
way
to
go
so
like
getting
in
at
this
stage
means
two
things:
one
is
like
you're
contributing
to
a
project.
That's
actually
doing
something
that
was
previously
impossible
and
two
like
you
will
be
in
the
headspace
and
have
like
some
new
sort
of
creativity
where
you
can
build
something
yourself
that
wasn't
possible
before
and
it's
hard.
D
Yeah
I
will
definitely
double
down
on
the
fact
that
you
want
to
create
something
unique
and,
on
the
other
hand,
like
the
Falcon
protocol,
is
probably
one
of
the
most
complicated
protocols
out
there.
From
the
token
economics
standpoint
like
from
old
attack
that
it
actually
had
for
a
while,
and
that
is
all
opportunities
for
Founders
to
actually
learn
build.
D
That
will
possibly
help
you
find
that
job
in
a
team
that
has
raised
funding
for
something
else
and
you'll
definitely
have
built
to
that
unfair
advantage
in
the
ecosystem.
So
just
focus
on
things
that
are
not
available
anywhere
else
and
focus
on
Azure
learning
technology
that
doesn't
exist
anywhere
else.
A
Amazing
all
right
everyone.
This
concludes
our
panel.
This
was
amazing.
Thank
you.
All
of
you.
It's
been
great,
I,
hope
you
Founders
and
Builders
out
there
you
know,
feel
inspired
and
oriented
and
know
where
to
go
know
how
to
engage
yeah.
Thank
you
for
like
tuning
in
and
being
here.
Thank
you
thanks.
