TL;DR:

The macroeconomic environment is weird (read below for more) but probably holds a lot of potential for early-stage startups. It is the best time to build and invest in builders. We have closed our 3rd quarter, and continue to follow our strategy which seems to work pretty well. Our portfolio now has 29 amazing companies. We see a strong “product-market fit” in our approach (VC firm as a community-driven product for founders and investors) and are reworking and polishing our processes and introducing automation to make a product out of a working prototype. Many community members have started to actively contribute value to our portfolio and bring in new deals, so we’re introducing Deal Advisor and Deal Captain ranks to recognize their effort, partially decentralize and help scale our operation. As always, there are a lot of fun activities happening in our community, and we bring in new partnerships and amazing people.
