href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> companies who is currently a venture partner at Headline, a venture capital firm.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I invest in consumer tech (with a real love for marketplaces) and Web3. Ive invested in Consensys (MetaMask), AfterParty, Fractal, Aloft, Wander, MarketerHire, SudShare and a few others I cant share just yet.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before investing, I co-founded Darby  a video shopping <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> that connected creators and their fans. It was such a journey. We built Darby up to 50,000 creators making videos for 5 million viewers. Working with the team at Darby was one of my greatest privileges. We were acquired by Grove Collective.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prior to Darby, I was at Goldman Sachs in the Investment Banking Group. I learned quite a bit. Especially because I was an English teacher right out of college.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_has_been_the_toughest_challenge_youve_faced_in_our_industry_so_far\"><\/span>1  What has been the toughest challenge youve faced in our industry so far?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two challenges that come to mind. The first is that its a noisy industry. Its challenging to face the tough questions: What is the fundamental reason that this industry is thriving? Whats a novel use case of the tech? Finding the signal through the noise is the most important thing you can do as an investor, since it impacts how you use both your time and money. I have that answer now; without it, you run the risk of losing a lot of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second is the pitfall of rallying around a negative message. One of the quickest ways to succeed in this space as a female investor is to scream that its a boys club. That sort of negativity thrives on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, where lots of crypto conversations take place. If I wanted to be self-serving, I would say that and build up my platform, but I dont believe it and its not the path I want to choose. If you say the message enough times, it could become a truth, and then we later hurt ourselves by being excluded from one of the most important technological innovations and the fastest way to even economic outcomes. If you fall into a negative message, it only hurts outsiders, not the insiders. We, as part of this industry, get to choose how this phenomenon plays out. Why would we choose to call it a boys club?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Do_you_subscribe_to_the_idea_of_Bitcoin_as_a_means_of_payment_a_store_of_value_both%E2%80%A6_or_neither\"><\/span>2  Do you subscribe to the idea of Bitcoin as a means of payment, a store of value, both\u2026 or neither?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Bitcoin  as a store of value. While there was a battle four or five years ago on what it would become, it has played out to be a store of value, and I think thats the right outcome. I do see some other cryptocurrencies like Ether and Solana as a means of payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Do_you_think_governments_will_try_to_kill_crypto\"><\/span>3  Do you think governments will try to kill crypto?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What a spicy question! I think yes because crypto degrades governments power, and anyone that has power is susceptible to wanting to reclaim it  though not everyone will pursue that path. So, I think its inevitable that some governments somewhere will try to kill crypto. As for which government and how far they take it  who knows? Thats a movie, right there. I think some will embrace it wholeheartedly and try to make it fly, especially those with volatile currencies. But for now, its way too early to assume. Whats incredible about crypto is that it has the potential to decentralize power and give rise to economies that are struggling. Theres good and evil in it, just like with any other technological innovation. It will all depend on how people use it, and I want to steer in that direction, which is why I choose to invest in the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_were_you_like_in_high_school\"><\/span>4  What were you like in high school?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confused, but I made it through! I graduated high school in three years because my mom made a deal with me that if I graduated early, I could be an actress for my fourth year instead of going to school. I was also kicked out of two schools in my freshman year because I wasnt very well behaved, so I ultimately ended up at night school, where I later realized I wanted to change my behavior. I made another deal with my mom that if I got a 4.0 GPA in my sophomore year, I didnt have to go to school on Mondays, and I did it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I loved rap and hiphop culture, and I was also very into punk music (my roots are in Orange County). I was happy with my social scene and the amount of friends I had. My little sister went everywhere with me. Shes three years younger and my partner in crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I had about 30 jobs in high school because if I didnt like something, I would just quit. The only job Ive ever been fired from is Dennys, and my favorite job was being the perfume spray girl in Bloomingdales. I came from a wealthy family but they later lost all of their money. In high school, I still wanted to live the life I grew up in, so I definitely had a hustler mentality and made my way. I probably skated the line of criminal behavior a few times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Thinking_of_a_favorite_poem_or_musical_lyric_what_is_it_and_why_does_it_speak_to_you\"><\/span>5  Thinking of a favorite poem or musical lyric, what is it, and why does it speak to you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two that come to mind. The first is a saying that only boring people get bored. Its my philosophy for life. I truly believe that most people get to be the captain of their own ship, so if youre bored, go fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second is really any line from the movie <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Royal Tenenbaums<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  two of my personal favorites are: Did you say you were on mescaline? I did indeed. Very much so, and Ive had a rough year, dad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Its such an honest, humble and creative movie. Ive watched it 100 times and always seem to find something new. The pursuit of individuality, creative risk  all of the characters take creative risks  and building personality is something I am attracted to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_is_the_book_that_influenced_you_the_most_and_why\"><\/span>6  What is the book that influenced you the most and why?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I would say <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pride and Prejudice<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. My grandmother actually gave me an original copy of the book. Its one of the first novels I ever read in high school. I was a very avid reader as a kid, and this is one of the most grown-up pieces I can remember reading at that age. To me, it was about the power of womanhood and the unique traits we have, and how much power that gives us in the world. Those traits are also different from the ones men have. It helped me realize that I was a different human from my dad or other guys, but how that could be powerful. I used to read it every year. I also loved how theyre all sisters and that dynamic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_wish_for_the_young_ambitious_blockchain_community\"><\/span>A wish for the young, ambitious blockchain community:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If I share my wish, it may not come true!<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
