Crypto Community Building

Too Long; Didn't Read

We are big believers in community-building. We have invested heavily in it as a firm, contributing to the ecosystem in various ways that are consistent with our values (e.g., fostering <a href="https://hackdiversity.com/" target="_blank">diversity in tech</a>, supporting <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2018/06/07/xfactor-ventures/#57b1bd749a2d" target="_blank">women entrepreneurs</a> and <a href="https://www.globaleir.org/" target="_blank">immigrant entrepreneurs</a>). And we have invested heavily in it across our portfolio companies. Our insight a decade ago that developers were becoming the kings of IT led to a fruitful investment thesis, led by my partner <a href="http://www.flybridge.com/team-member/chip-hazard/" target="_blank">Chip</a>, around <a href="http://hazard.typepad.com/hazard-lights/2012/03/developer-driven-business-models.html" target="_blank">developer driven adoption</a> and community building (as exemplified by our investments in MongoDB, Codecademy, Crashlytics and Firebase).
