Through a conversational yet practical discussion, John breaks down what founders really need to know about today’s blockchain funding landscape. We explore how raising capital in Web3 differs from traditional tech, what investors are looking for right now, and how founders can prepare—from whitepapers and tokenomics to pitch clarity and storytelling.
