In this episode we’re joined by our CEO Matt Gould and Paul Veradittakit. Paul is an investor and Partner at Pantera Capital, who is now investing in Unstoppable Domains as our lead Series A investor.
Paul talks about the path that led him into investing from being an economic consultant. We discuss uncertainty in the markets and the tendency of crypto to bounce back, and Paul shares the types of crypto investments he’s gravitating towards. How important is the “Unicorn” status when investing in startups?
Matt talks about the early days of the Unstoppable Domains project and the challenges he faced. Then Paul talks about the value of community in Web3 and what specifically excites him about the Unstoppable Domains business model.
Finally, we discuss mass adoption of crypto and what it will take to get there, the value of allowing a single login across multiple Web3 platforms, and what Paul hopes to see in the future with Unstoppable Domains.
