#26 Brayton Williams, BoostVC: The Crypto VC Landscape, Scarce Trust, and the Liquid Founder
In this episode of Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future (Patreon, Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes) I interview Brayton Williams, a co-founder at BoostVC, an accelerator that focuses on blockchain technology. We chat about the crypto VC landscape, the continued scarcity of trust, and the liquidity for how blockchain founders allocate their time. Enjoy, and as always, let me know if you have any feedback!
