We opened our doors for INSIDE Startups.
Experience a day with the @dragonfly team visiting Monad, Rain, and Polymarket, while we walk through the life of a VC and how we're investing in the future of money and markets.
Out now 👉 youtu.be/8j9YZlSMjw4
INSIDE @Dragonfly episode out now.
This is the biggest VC episode yet on INSIDE Startups!
@hosseeb, @tomhschmidt, @HadickM and @LindsayxLin are managing around $4B to back startups building the future of money and markets. The day took us inside their portfolio companies, @monad, @raincards and @Polymarket.
A truly unique experience getting to see up close how they translate their view of where finance is heading into decisions about which businesses to fund, and how they’ve assessed teams that are building enduring companies.
One thing I genuinely appreciate is having friends who are well connected in different countries.
You can be exploring an opportunity somewhere, and someone who lives there can help you understand the environment, introduce you to the right people or connect you with someone who can make things happen.
I’ve benefited from this a lot. Sometimes, a good introduction is all you need to get a conversation started.

The top 1% in money, wealth, income are also the top 1% in stress, sacrifice, and pain.
To be top 1% in the first list you need to be willing to be top 1% in the second.
If it were free, everyone would do it.
From now on, I will prioritise knowledge, discipline, personal growth, meaningful relationships, financial independence and purpose. I will be more selective with my circle, protective of my time and intentional about my future.

Core advice:
If you want to win at the highest level, you have to be willing to be misunderstood for very long periods of time.

Innovation begins with curiosity.
The more I learn about technology, finance, markets and human behaviour, the more I appreciate the importance of understanding problems from first principles.
There is always another perspective to explore and another question worth asking.
Jummat Mubarak!

I started my tech journey with nothing. No mentors, no connections, no one to guide me or introduce me to opportunities.
I had to figure things out myself, learn from experience, make mistakes, and keep building.
Eventually, the work started speaking for itself. People noticed what I was doing, some became mentors, others became collaborators, and new opportunities started coming.
I learned that you don't always have to start with a network. Sometimes, you build something that creates one for you.
You cannot build a global company while ignoring how the world works. Geopolitics matters more than most founders realise.
Thank you @JensenHuang.
For 33 years you led with courage and kept getting better. You never quit, and you built something huge. Thank you for helping founders like me too.
America and AI are better for it.
So unfortunate 😏🤦♂️

Agreed.
One thing I hate the most is sitting back and doing nothing just because the market is bad.
Guess it’s time to start exploring new and innovative apps, discovering new opportunities and finding other ways to stay productive.
There’s always something to build, learn or explore regardless of market conditions.

10% of the world's population owns approximately 74% of global wealth.
The concentration of wealth tells you a lot about how economic power is distributed across the world.
My engineering team is quite young. Most are under 25, with 60% coming from Asia and 40% from other parts of the world. I find it fascinating to work with such a diverse group of people.
