# Onchain and Inperson

Our friends at [Base](https://twitter.com/jessepollak/status/1626991181300133889?s=20) and [Zora](https://twitter.com/ourZORA/status/1640057147135524864?s=20) have been popularizing the phrase “onchain is the next online”. And I really like it. As a crypto venture investor I spend a lot of time both onchain and online. But I find that I get the most energized when I am both _onchain_ and _inperson_.

Whether it’s a full day with the rest of my team in the Haun Ventures office, meeting with our founders in their offices, meeting a new founder over coffee, or at a conference, I feel the most connected to this ecosystem when I am _inperson_. I am grateful that we made the decision last year to build an _inperson_ culture at HV and I encourage any existing and future founders to do the same.

It makes the hard work more memorable and importantly, more fun!
