Mixed blessing. I won the Silicon Valley Startup Poker 2.0 event last night.
That's fun to do. But I also cringe a little when it happens. I love it most when other founders or investors win.
Having played in at least 300 of these events over the years, I have a bit of an advantage because I know the format so well. And I've certainly won my share.
So I try not to play too seriously and to make some questionable moves to generate more fun and action for other players. I also usually play the "small money" option so that even if i win, another player will get top prize as the "big dog" as we call it.
But sometimes the cards just go your way, like they did last night.
Congrats to OG Startup Haven member @Ben Park, whom I schooled heads up but who took the 1st place big dog spot.
I'm hosting "Why Every Startup Founder Should Play Poker" today at 3pm. Wanna here me blather on about how valuable poker is to startup founders and investors? Then this session is for you.

You're ridiculously wealthy, you can have anything, go anywhere, do anything. You're also C-level exec of several of multi-$B companies. Would you really spend 100's of hours building a Diablo IV character? Or would you just drop a few hundies.

Emerging fund managers raising small funds (under $20M):
I have a tip for you.
Don't waste time on placement agents, LP Summits, allocator conferences and all of the other orgs that tell you they can help you meet LPs. Mostly, they won't. Mostly, they can't.
For example, after the third or fourth spam-email nudge from one of these LP intro brokers, I responded:
In my experience, this does not work for pre-seed funds raising less than $20M. There is just no extra vig to go around."

you guys are doing engagement farming all wrong. if you want to maximize engagement you need to talk sh*t about @pixels_online or @Ronin_Network.
then you’ll feel the wrath of tens of thousands of angry people from SEA
I'm in DC to meet with founders/investors as we chart the course for a chapter here.
Fantastic conversation with my Tyrkish Lyft driver from the airport.
The convo inspired me to grab dinner at a Turkish spot near my hotel. Damn good!

So there's obviously some exciting stuff happening today. But here's what to expect AFTER $PIXEL lists.
VIP Passes
VIP passes were a large revenue stream for Pixels.
These passes will now be sold in $PIXEL. Purchasing VIP unlocks...
👉 More Bookmarks
👉 More Inventory Space
👉 More $PIXEL Earnings
More Pets
We have hundreds of thousands of users but only 300 pets. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE.
We'll slowly release more Pets into the world of Pixels - they'll require $PIXEL to mint - the first mint might even be this week :)
Guilds
Guilds is FriendTech meets web3 gaming. It's a new system we have that's coming out late next week. Players will be able to join guilds using $PIXEL - the price of membership will increase on a bonding curve.
We already introduced Guild Waitlists - some guilds have thousands of members waiting to join.
And More...
Tons of new features and updates coming into the game over the next 2-3 months.
Caverns, dungeons, contestable lands, and more! As they roll out, all of these features will integrate the token deeper and deeper into gameplay.
There's some really cool stuff coming up, and the way we'll start to integrate $PIXEL into gameplay will actually be quite unique. I expect it to set some new web3 meta.
We've been waiting for this moment for so long!The team has a huge backlog of content & ideas to trickle out over the coming months. Stay tuned!
