The Funded https://thefunded.podbean.com Welcome to The Funded, where we interview founders and builders in web3 about their experiences, challenges and lessons learned while raising capital. The Funded is presented by Daedalus, a web3 angel collective made up of veteran founders, builders and operators that have been investing together for over 2 years. Daedalus angels are core contributors to some of web3’s largest protocols like Yearn, Perpetual Protocol, Nansen, with others building their own dapps and protocols in DeFi, social web3 and more. As an angel collective, we are lucky to be spending time with founders every day. When it comes to fundraising, we often see the same questions come up -- The Funded was created to tackle these and other topics of value for both first-time and repeat founders in web3.
