The 2023 Latin America Digital Transformation Report is here. This year we cover the 5 Tectonic Shifts that stand to bring great opportunity (or challenge) to the region. Join us as we explore this narrative through rich original data. My top 10 picks👇 atlantico.vc/latin-america-…
Several VC leaders met today to discuss the aftermath of SVB’s downfall. This is a joint statement from all of us. @Accel @altcap @BCapitalGroup @generalcatalyst @eladgil @GreylockVC @khoslaventures @kleinerperkins @lightspeedvp @MayfieldFund @Redpoint @RibbitCapital @upfrontvc
In the spirit of #GivingTuesday2022, we're announcing new features @DaffyGiving today. This post shares a bit of the behind-the-scenes thinking from our first year post-launch. It covers some of the lessons from my history with @acorns and @LinkedIn. adamnash.blog/2022/11/29/daf…
We're proud to share that @AsideInc, the tech platform behind Daffy, has raised $17.1M in Series A financing led by @RibbitCapital, joined by @xyz_vc, @coinbase & 50+ 😇 investors. With your help, we want to close the trillion-dollar #GenerosityGap. blog.daffy.org/generosity-gap/
RBG wrote this note to my Mom when my Dad died (also a lifelong feminist):"When the time to mourn has passed, you must carry on with your work" This current threat to basic rights is nauseating and it's time to work. (I'm starting w beefing up monthly gift to Planned Parenthood)
Excited to announce @SlingshotCrypto's $15M Series A fundraise led by the legendary @RibbitCapital! Also stoked to have @hiFramework, K5 Global, @ShrugCap, @TheChainsmokers, @ElectricCapital, @austin_rief and others participate in the round 🔥 1/
1/ Excited to announce our Series B! We raised $60M led by @RibbitCapital, including existing investors @kleinerperkins @caffeinatedcap and others. Read more here: techcrunch.com/2021/11/17/set… But why?
After more than a year in stealth, we're ready to announce what we've been working on at Silverback Ventures. @DaffyGiving has a simple mission: help people be more generous, more often. Today we've launched an app to help making giving a habit. blog.daffy.org/introducing-da…
1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.
Fired up and feeling lucky to have @jangelos4 joining the Ribbit team. Looking forward to lots of good things - and good times - ahead.

Bitcoin like digital gold cannot be devalued & it’s decentralization promotes transnational exchange & provides a check against economic mismanagement. Lets nurture it but protect consumers, prevent abuse, & invest in less carbon intensive mining. That should happen in America.

Uniswap is an upgrade to the financial system, whether the SEC recognizes it or not. I bought my first bitcoin in 2011, started BlackRock’s crypto efforts in 2015 and left TradFi in 2021 to go all in on DeFi as COO of Uniswap Labs. I did that because I believe onchain markets…
Uniswap has been fighting for the core principles of crypto since they launched. To me, they stand for the idea that immutable peer-to-peer financial technology is not only possible, but inevitable. That it can win. It’s unfortunate that the SEC is forcing them to take that…

This climate is reminiscent of this 1865 UK act requiring a flag-waving pedestrian to precede self-propelled vehicles for “safety” reasons. The move was politically motivated and lobbied for by the horse-drawn carriage operators to prevent disruption.
