A persistent problem in web3 today is the issue of scalability: as blockchains like Ethereum add users and experience unpredictable surges in network demand, they increasingly run into the same hitches of slow transaction times, high gas fees, and reverted transactions. Even as the number of Ethereum users has surged in the past year, and the applications themselves have grown more creative and attracted more capital, the number of transactions processed by miners has remained roughly flat at...

FacebookLinkedInTwitterLast year when we announced Katherine joining the team, we used the term “American Dynamism” but left it largely undefined. Today, she has published our thesis: “Building American Dynamism”. It explains why we believe there’s never been a better time to build companies that support the national interest and solve critical problems for the country. The American Dynamism practice invests in founders and companies that support the national interest, including but not limit...

We started TxO in summer of 2020 as an avenue for entrepreneurs who have the talent, drive, and ideas to build great businesses, but lack the typical background and resources to do so. Last fall, we accepted seven companies in the first TxO cohort. The founders of those companies took part in TxO University, an online program of company-building curriculum, networking, and advising. Our first cohort of founders has now graduated, and three have since completed subsequent funding events, one c...

FacebookLinkedInTwitterI was recently sitting in a board meeting of a successful SaaS company when the conversation turned to the slipping product release date. The problem was that the billing system wasn’t going to be finished in time. On the face of it, this seems like a silly thing to hold up a product launch, particularly at a deeply technical infrastructure company. But this is a situation I’ve seen many, many times over the years – including up close when I was building and shipping pr...

Welcome to 16 Minutes, our podcast where we discuss tech trends in the news and their impact on the long arc of innovation. Today’s topic is crypto regulation, and specifically, two recent federal government hearings in the news that were focused on crypto and therefore the related trend of web3. In contrast to the model of web2 — typified by very broadly used but also very centralized platforms run by corporations — web3 refers to the idea of a new internet enabled by crypto that is owned by...
