Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), are necessarily essential components of technological advancement

I’m incredibly excited to be joining Vance Spencer, Michael Andersson, Daniel Mason and the rest of the Framework team to help build and invest in founders at the intersection of DeFi and Gaming. Framework is different than most VCs in crypto insofar as at its core it’s a technology company, building products and services to support the open blockchain networks that the fund invests in. With my background in private debt capital markets in fintech and traditional finance, I’m looking forward to supporting Framework Labs’ initiatives and invest in some of the brightest founders in the space.

For hundreds of years, finance was a discipline only understood by a privileged set of individuals - those who were either highly educated or who understood the complexities of the financial markets.

Farcaster represents a new wave of innovation for the Web3 consumer. Permissionless, composable, & sufficiently decentralized, Farcaster is a social graph that provides infrastructure to facilitate the formation of other novel Web3 social platforms. The protocol is designed to empower creators to own the links between themselves and their network, forming a fully composable, user-owned social map. The protocol is built with a focus on segmentation, so that users can always have the freedom to move their social identity between applications, and developers will always have the freedom to build applications with new features on the network.
