Is It a Good Idea to Start a Community Based Company?

Tina He is an investor with Pace Capital and is also on the founding team at Station - which bills itself as building the rails for web 3. Her work with Pace & Station has helped her identify the myriad mental shifts that builders need to make when migrating from web 2 to web 3.

Today's conversation is about those mental shifts. For example, the legal infrastructure that exists today has not caught up to technology's most recent community-organizing abilities. As DAOs gain more credibility and sophistication, there will also need to be clearer distinctions made between companies and communities. Contracts will look different too. Will employees and 1099 contractors have the same kind of benefits as community contributors?

Tina also breaks down human-centric ideologies of web 3. The most talented builders are asking how we might redistribute value to the long-tail, as opposed to the FAANG behemoths who own so much of the overall value in web 2.

The language we use in web 3 moving forward matters. This conversation with Tina helps us understand what some of these guiding rails can be.
