I was at the protests in France on Saturday. I鈥檓 so tempted to post videos of luxury shops being looted. But I鈥檇 just be one more person distracting from the real issues. Saturday was first and foremost a march in solidarity with the students. They deserve to be heard, and to study in decent conditions. The violence started in the buildings they call schools. They鈥檙e falling apart, rats roam the halls, and classrooms hit 40掳C in summer. On top of that, education budgets keep getting cut and teachers are missing, mostly because they鈥檙e underpaid. If you don鈥檛 properly invest in youth, you compromise their future. France鈥檚 youth has a will to survive. This is them gasping for air while being choked by Macron鈥檚 policies (or lack of them).

First things I look at when I start working with an early-stage team (product live, no clear PMF yet): ICP: Who are we building for? If we don't know, figuring that out is priority number one. Hard to assess PMF when you're unclear on whose problem you're solving. Runway: How much time do we have to get there? That's the clock for everything else. A short runway means only bets that can show a signal fast make the cut. If cash is getting tight, we need to reduce burn, bring in revenue or raise funding. Current partners, users and power users: Who already gets the product and could champion it? Talk to them, act on the feedback that fits your ICP, and give them a reason to root for you. Ignore them and they go quiet, or start rooting for someone else. What gets built next: I've worked with devs building genuinely exciting stuff. I get it, it's exciting, I respect the craft. But whether it's a company or a protocol, it needs a way to keep the lights on. An exciting feature still needs a reason to be next on the roadmap.

So for every feature, I ask: - Does this solve an important problem for our ICP or unblock something critical? If there's potential, build in an early feedback loop and test, test, test. - What value could it create, and how much effort will it take? - What happens if we wait? What counts as value depends on your stage: logos and partners for social proof, future revenue (how much, how likely, and when?), or actual revenue, which is the easiest to measure. The roadmap comes out of 1 to 3: what gives your early users a reason to stay, moves you toward your goals, within the runway you actually have? If something takes a lot of effort and has weak evidence behind it, trust me, it can wait.

Putting my work on the timeline because I'm looking for my next full-time role in web3 BD/partnerships. The career lore: enterprise sales at @Zalando, then @lukso_io and @_brainbot (@BeamerBridge and @raiden_network). More recently, helping early teams with positioning, inbound/ outbound sales, partnerships and launch strategy. I've built and led growth teams, set up the processes behind them and run GTM. That includes onboarding flows, internal processes and product feedback loops that help teams prioritize what to build next. I'm used to working across teams and in multiple languages (new room, new language, new version of me unlocked). If your company needs someone who can talk to partners, engineers and the timeline, let's connect. Intros are more than welcome, frens 馃憠馃憟

I get why expats in Portugal outsource everything. Thought bureaucracy couldn't be that hard. Turns out it's an infinite loop: go to A, they send you to B, then C, right back to A 馃拃 At this point i'm basically a consultant. dms open

Web3 job hunting rn is lowkey cooked if you're only doomscrolling linkedin. (I rarely do) Saving you from going through random noise for hours. Below's the list of resources I came across (mostly web3), tested most of them. Before you continue, big disclaimer: There are a lot, I mean A LOT of fake job ads, or ghost job ads. In some cases, I even came across scams. Latest one was an Orakuru job ad. Stay safe anon. Scroll through X Nothing beats hiring threads. Trending rn speedrun-talent-network.com: a16z's board. 22k+ roles across startups, crypto and AI included. Mostly a16z portfolio, warm intros to founders. Early startups wellfound.com (used to be AngelList): early startups + equity. The quality of matches has worsened imo. For Marketing Folks @St3cu's Web3 Marketing Jobs TG group. The big ones, filter hard web3.career: OG board and biggest one. filter by chain, stack, remote. lots show salary. cryptocurrencyjobs.co: since 2017, hand-picked. solid for non-tech. cryptojobslist.com: OG board crypto.jobs: 3.6k+ jobs. check the post date, some are 90+ days old. cryptojobs.com: BD, marketing, community, devs. Filter maxxing jobstash.xyz: filter by funding, chain, TVL, audits, even past hacks. talentweb3.co: web3 + AI + robotics. deciml.io: matches on skills, onchain activity and pay. Still early. @solana maxxers talent.superteam.fun: solana only. one profile, matched across teams. Still early. GG @SuperteamTalent tho. Remote only remote3.co: remote roles + telegram alerts. remoterocketship.com: heard good stuff, haven't tried. EU-specific tech jobs jobs.techeurope.io: european AI and deep tech startups. Tech (general) cvin.bio/jobs: says 100k+ roles at places like openai, stripe, anthropic. It wasn't the best match for me. What did I miss?

I've tasted unemployment. I have tasted 9-5. I recommend being born in a wealthy family.
