Many investors pass on great opportunities because the founder does not look or sound like their training set for a visionary.
There’s an art to sensing subtle signals of obsessive success that are not in the high bravado, alpha lexicon. The outlier opportunities exist here.

As VCs, we love putting things - ppl, companies, technologies - in buckets. But the most interesting things don’t fit in a bucket. It comes out of nowhere and you can’t categorize it or bucket it. Don’t let anyone put you in a bucket! Be bucketless. Defy being bucketable.

Patenting IP via NFTs is the most compelling application I've seen in web3. This is going to be revolutionary.
@_Carol_Mag
The IP-NFT contains a hash to an enforceable real-world legal contract, such as a Sponsored Research Agreement. SRA contains a clause that enables the contract to be sub-licensed to the IP-NFT holder (in your example, a DAO represented by an Ethereum address) or an agent thereof

Thesis building is mostly ego and marketing in VC land.
To arrive at the future, you can only understand it retrospectively. Your portfolio informs your thesis only after you have invested. Founders are the only ones that can see it (the future).
Btw because of this study, AT&T decided not to invest into this "toy" technology. Whoops.
The only people that can predict the future are those building it.

So much of being a founder or in venture is managing your psychology. Sometimes you need to clean the slate.
