On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with 13yearoldvc, Ecosystem Lead at Eigenlayer, about how she studied 50 projects a day to identify trends as a VC, why she now enjoys building more than investing, and what it is about Eigenlayer that she believes makes it a really special one of a kind project.
“If you can’t explain it to a 10 year old in 2 minutes or less, don’t own it.” -Peter Lynch
Few people in web3 are very good at explaining crypto and blockchain concepts in a way that’s easy for mainstream consumers to understand (myself included), but 13yearoldvc is different. She came into this episode loaded with analogies that make complex topics like staking and data availability and seemingly complex projects like Eigenlayer easily understandable to a 10 year old.
On a more personal note, she shares how she found her ikigai with her work at Eigenlayer now and her best advice for others to find their ikigai. She also shares her best advice for others who want to succeed as a VC or as a builder in web3 or both.
