In episode 120, we’re excited to welcome Adam Helfgott, Founder & Advisor of several tech and Web3 companies including Valence, AliceNet, AdLedger, and Madhive. We discuss being a Founder in Web3, advice for emerging entrepreneurs, on-chain identity, blockchain and data privacy, digital media in Web3, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

When onboarding Web2 companies to Web3, it’s important to lead with the benefits (such as the security, efficiency, and transparency) of the technology, and not the technology itself (blockchain).
Web3 is built around the ethos of transparency, decentralization, and open source. The advent of blockchain provides an opportunity to return to the open source vision of the internet, and to collectively implement open source standards.
If you’re interested in building with blockchain, it’s important not to do so just for the sake of using blockchain. The projects that will ultimately fail are those that are trying to get in on the hype of Web3, but don’t have a legitimate use case for the technology.
