Blake Finucane speaks with the incredible Arianna Simpson, general partner at a16z, whose latest crypto fund is $4.5 billion! She is really a renowned force within the crypto industry and one of the longest standing investors in the space.
They chat about how she got into crypto, launched her crypto fund by herself(!) in 2017(!), how she deals with pressure, and how she avoids getting swept up in all the latest crypto trends and stays true to her underlying believes and thesis, carrying her through all market cycles.
They also talk about what makes a great founder, a great pitch and a great investor…and how crucial it is to manage your own emotions in the process.
Blake also makes sure to get Arianna’s thoughts on some specific crypto verticals including web 3 gaming, web 3 fashion and PFPs.
It’s a great episode for anyone who is actively investing in crypto or who is interested in how the VC and investing world works.
