Welcome 👋
My name is Patrick Rivera and I've spent the past few years building consumer apps in crypto / web3 as a growth engineer. I’m currently building a new type of NFT project and web3 brand that’s launching this summer.
Previously, I was a growth engineer at Mirror, Instacart, and Dharma (before it was acquired by OpenSea).
I also write about the intersection of crypto and culture.
Here are some of my most popular posts:
Designing Internet-Native Economies: A Guide to Crypto Tokens (A16Z Future)
How Crypto Projects Like Loot are Rewriting the Playbook for Building Communities (Means of Creation podcast)
The Next Crypto Cycle - Web3, DAOs, and NFTs (The Deep End podcast by On Deck)
Lifecycle of Web3 Communities (On the Other Side podcast by Chase Chapman with accompanying slides here)
If you want to get in touch, say hi on Twitter or email me at patrick.x.rivera@gmail.com.
