Course overview

No matter who you are, there's a place for you in Web3!

We offer 15 years of combined experience in EVERY part of Web3. We've been in good projects and bad, got rich and got burned navigating this incredibly dynamic space with integrity. Our mission is to help you do the same, minus the screwups we went through. Let us guide you through the end-to-end process of living your ideal life in Web3.


💰👇 WHY NOW?


Take Control of Your Work Life


The industry standard involves fully remote work, decentralized organization and management, and enterprise-level tech compensation (6-figure USD). You will have unparalleled control over your life compared to any other industry.


Quick & Massive Upside


Crypto compensation generally matures faster than equity. A token launch may occur in 6~9 months, with team members getting immediate life-changing payouts. You can liquidate your assets or earn "yield," meaning your crypto generates passive income.


Explosive Financial Growth


During this unprecedented bull market, Web3's market cap has surpassed $2 trillion. That's on par with global telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, and tourism. Yet a comparatively tiny number of people are making money from Web3.


Mainstream Adoption & Innovation


With the recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs and pending ETFs for other top cryptos, Web3 is going mainstream. The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance sector accounted for 36.12% of market revenue in 2023. No matter your skills, they can apply in Web3.


Market Timing in 2024


The crypto bull market is raging. Whenever token prices and crypto treasuries rise in value, new job opportunities open up. Expense accounts and event opportunities will also be more laissez-faire. You're showing up at the perfect time.


Mission-Driven Work


Web3 is about rebuilding institutions to be more fair and decentralized. It's about enabling peer-to-peer collaboration, removing gatekeepers and third parties, returning power to the people. Your personal values and interests have a place in Web3.

I met Vitalik in 2016 at an Ethereum meetup and my professional life has orbited around Web3 ever since. I started out at one of the earliest crypto VCs before launching my own fund in 2017. That same year I joined Consensys, and was a founding-member at Liquality, one of the first truly decentralized exchanges that went on to raise over $10 million.


In 2020 I joined IoTeX as their first marketing hire and supported their growth from a $20 million market cap project to over $2 billion at the height of the 2021 bull market.


Now I work as Director of Accelerator programs at IoTeX, sourcing and mentoring founders as they build the next great Web3 businesses.

I started my Web3 journey as the CMO of an early Decentralized Finance (DeFi) company with 80+ people that raised $30+ million. Since then, I've headed marketing at multiple projects, made venture investments, and worked with countless projects in this space.


In 2019, I had the privilege of co-creating Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator. 110 global teams have joined this program, raising $620+ million in follow-on funding.


Currently, I advise strategic startups and funds. I also run a marketing agency in Web3 called Truth Cartel.
