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:A Presentation on Crypto Fundamentals and NFTsCome for the Creator, Stay for the EconomyThoughts on DAO ToolingCommunity DAOsDesigning 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)Tips for Creators Getting Into CryptoCrypto-native Newsletter BusinessesIf you want to get in touch, say hi on Twitter or email me at patrick.x.rivera@gmail.com.
