Startups & Tech

A curated list of the top stories in technology, startups, and venture capital.

Gm. Two personal updates for this week:

Very proud to announce we led the investment into Notifi Network, founded a strong team (ex Circle, AWS, Grab, Oracle) and are building notification & messaging infrastructure for Web3 developers. In short Twilio for Web3.
On March 15th from 6-8pm, Race Capital and I will be hosting a Web3 founders meetup in SF. If you’re around come by, would love to say hi.
