What you likely need
You're a high-signal unicorn co-founder with deep YC and Rippling credibility, now building 0xPPL in the crypto-social space. Your angel investing activity through Spearhead and direct deals is meaningful but relatively underpublicized. The biggest near-term leverage is raising a proper seed or Series A for 0xPPL and amplifying your investor brand given your Rippling pedigree.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingFormalize and publicize 0xPPL's fundraising round — your Rippling co-founder status and YC W17 pedigree make you a compelling lead for top-tier seed funds.
- positioningCreate a public angel portfolio page or AngelList profile listing your investments in Emergent, Zamp, and Doola to build your investor brand and attract deal flow.
- tacticalPush public code or open-source tooling related to 0xPPL's onchain infrastructure — your GitHub has been dormant and reactivating it would strengthen your builder credibility.
- introsTap Rippling's 5,000+ employee alumni network and Parker Conrad's connections for 0xPPL's go-to-market in the crypto-native enterprise segment.
- tacticalPost a 'Show HN' for 0xPPL's onchain social graph — your existing HN account has history and the crypto-dev audience on HN is a natural early adopter base.
- positioningPublish a written investment thesis around your Spearhead-era learnings to attract co-investment opportunities and position yourself as a thought leader in founder-led angel investing.
- hiringPrioritize hiring onchain-native engineers and growth leads for 0xPPL — the company has only 16 employees and is in a competitive decentralized social space requiring rapid iteration.
