Today I am speaking with Mark Beylin, an associate at Boost VC, an early stage venture capital firm with expertise in deep tech hardware and software. And as you will hear, Mark is no stranger to the world of web3 and blockchain - his journey includes founding roles and launching interesting tech, along with some amazing roles at Deloitte and ConsenSys.

Recently, Mark has gained significant attention for some thought-provoking blogs, including “The Token is the Product” and “The Hard Crypto Thesis,” which have challenged conventional views and started industry-wide discussions. During this interview, we explore both of these blogs and the arguments he is making. We’ll also unpack Mark’s professional experiences, his journey into web3, some of his entrepreneurial insights, his take on the evolving crypto industry, and the principles guiding his work at Boost VC.

I started the conversation with Mark by talking about his early years, growing up as the child of Russian immigrants in Canada, and how this background shaped his views on entrepreneurship and innovation.
