I’ve been working on Megapot for two years. It started as an experiment, then players from 124 countries showed up, we paid out 19 jackpot winners, and the jackpot crossed $1M. Today, we’re announcing our $5M round led by Dragonfly

"sad but true" tbh i'm sad to see farcaster turn into a trading app as well as glad they finally embraced it love these takeaways from years in the trenches from @dwr and @tednotlasso

Last time I came to NYC to fundraise, I stayed in a hostel and ate dried cereal every day I was bootstrapped and hadn't had a salary for over a year. No regrets. Frugality gave me time to iterate on dozens of ideas Just landed in NYC and am staying in a hotel this time :)

I left @Uniswap last week. Grateful to learn from the most talented team in web3 and proud of what we built. Next up - I’m exploring startup ideas, both in/outside of crypto, @southpkcommons. For those in SF, come by! I wrote about my reasons here:

Thank you @brian_armstrong @jesse_pollak @davidtsocy and the entire @base team for building the super app to bring millions of users onchain 🟦 @megapot is already live as a Base mini app, and proudly supporting many mini apps using our protocol as a sweepstakes feature!

My team at @Uniswap (backend) is hiring engineers as fast as we can, with multiple openings. We work on complex problems supporting app.uniswap.org, the mobile app, routing APIs, smart order router, and so much more! DMs open. boards.greenhouse.io/uniswaplabs

I'm so excited to launch Megapot V2 While I'm proud of all the improvements, I wanted to answer the # 1 question I get asked: "why are you building a gambling app when you can literally build anything else?" 🧵

hey, wanna be a founding designer at my startup? btw we're going to give you more equity (2%) than any comparable eng offer at a startup that has raised $5M interviewing is respectful: three calls, an offer review, paid 3-day work trial where our design advisors evaluate you

hey, wanna be a founding designer at my startup? we have no taste but we keep hearing ux/design is the biggest differentiator in the ai slop era. btw we're going to give you less equity than the next ten engineers we hire tho. i promise, we're going to be so design-driven, you
