We believe deeply in this thesis. It has been an honor working with a visionary like Vibhu and his exceptional team. Making great consumer and creator crypto experiences possible.
tldr; on @drip thesis creators of digital content (data + media) don't get paid, most of the money is made by aggregators (google, fb, etc.) w virtually unbreakable network fx and 90%+ gross margins this lead to internet ux becoming increasingly bad over last 20 years: paid, ever-increasing subs, paywalls, cookie banners & legalese, intrusive ads as publishers try to wrestle control from aggregators thesis is the problem stems from lack of micro-payments infra + missing ownership model, two things blockchains solve micro-payments bc all digital content has an inorganic pricing floor, so bundling is necessary, forcing creators to participate or lose - and, people prefer lower prices, and paying for what they get digital ownership bc piracy is bad, but licensing and rental models are unfair and expensive for consumers - leaving them unable to opt-out without losing the media they paid for - and, therefore w increasing wallet share going to aggregators, creators that try to break free from the system struggle to monetize these are things the early internet didn't care about, bc of the enormous subsidies (funded by VCs and public markets), global bandwidth access propagation (default growth keeping shareholders happy without margin expansion imperative), and bc it took a long time for creators and publishers to figure out what was going on so the time is now to build a better content experience; peak frustration from creators and users, and the invention and readiness of robust, fast, cheap digital payments & ownership infra w Solana et al. that better content experience is DRiP

We're incredibly excited to support the world class @heliuslabs team!
we've raised a Series A to accelerate crypto development at @heliuslabs! in mid-2022, my co-founders (@liamvovk and @nick_pennie) and I left Coinbase & AWS to make a dent on a big problem facing crypto: a shortage of quality products it was (and still is) too hard to build fast, cheap, and scalable apps as a crypto developer Solana was the first real answer to this with its scale and performance, but it was hard to build on while everyone ruled it out due to vast information asymmetry — we doubled down on it, exclusively since then, we've grown to power the majority of the ecosystem, ranging from @helium's L1 migration to @MadLads' monumental mint and Discord/Shopify's first Solana integrations we've done this with a small team, while everyone called Solana dead and with a tiny fraction of our competitors' funding with this raise, we plan to accelerate the adoption of crypto-powered systems and Solana as much as humanly possible over the coming weeks, we'll be releasing important primitives such as generalized zk compression, next-gen RPC tooling and infra, and other surprises thank you to all who have supported us and Solana so far most importantly, thank you to all Solana developers who have trusted us to help them we have barely begun time to accelerate (p.s if this mission interests you, I'm hiring, DM me)
