Episode notes

E16Z Crypto is a new venture capital firm based in San Francisco. Founder and CEO of the firm, Mark O'Mara, says there's an opportunity to verticalize when YC classes get to be like 250 or something. "We hope this will be kind of an on-ramp" for people who don't know how to get involved with crypto but want to try it out.
