Description
For episode 31, Matthew and Brileigh sit down with Jess Sloss. Jess is a co-founder of Seed Club, a network that is helping to build, and invest in early-stage crypto projects. In this episode we dive into Jess’ background and what excites him about this new phase of the internet. We discuss Seed Club’s initial vision and history, Seed Club Ventures, a venture DAO backing early-stage founders, and the sixth season of their accelerator which is focusing on crypto consumer apps.
In this episode, Jess tells us about his optimistic vision for the future of mainstream crypto adoption, how we’ll get there, and the challenges ahead. We also touch on The Event, a virtual demo day for Seed Club’s latest accelerator cohort, which is happening on the 28th of September.
