What if internet memes were the new crypto luxury brand, driving financial speculation with the same fervor as high-end fashion? This week on The Index, we take a deep dive into everything crypto with Ben Huh, the co-founder of Orange DAO. Ben offers a unique perspective on how meme coins like Bonk are not just digital jokes but significant players in the evolving participatory financial system. He discusses the speculative nature of these coins, which operate more on sentiment than tangible utility, and the critical role of community and brand affinity in anchoring their value.While meme coins are on the rise, launching a successful crypto project demands more than just a catchy name. It's a strategic dance through distribution channels and realistic market expectations. Ben sheds light on the careful planning behind token launches, stressing the importance of grounding them in stable valuations and widespread distribution rather than hype. He also shares insights on current trends, such as the minimal use of venture capital allocations in bootstrap companies and the psychological waves caused by token unlocks on platforms like Solana.For those building the future of blockchain, choosing the right ecosystem is a make-or-break decision. Ben reveals the intricacies of selecting between Polkadot's high barriers and Solana's allure of accessibility. He also offers guidance for crypto founders pitching to investors, emphasizing the craft of compelling storytelling over the common reliance on credentials. The discussion touches upon the dynamic experience of accelerator programs, the art of succinct pitching during demo days, and the power of networking—essential tools for both new and seasoned entrepreneurs aiming to make their mark.Orange DAO: Follow on X: Show LinksThe Index X ChannelYouTube
Leave feedback!Today I am speaking with Ben Huh, a pioneering entrepreneur, co-founder, and investor. Many listeners will know Ben as the visionary behind the massive success of Cheezburger, the internet sensation that transformed memes and user-generated content into a business powerhouse.Ben's career spans decades of innovation, from his early entrepreneurial efforts to his role as a thought leader in web3. He's currently an integral part of Orange DAO, where he continues to champion tech, web3, crypto, and DAOs.During this interview, we explore Ben's remarkable journey—from growing up as the son of immigrants, his time at Northwestern University, the rise of Cheezburger, to his current work empowering the next generation of web3 entrepreneurs. I think you'll find Ben's insights into meme culture, decentralization, and entrepreneurship are second to none.Show Notes and TranscriptsThe GRTiQ Podcast takes listeners inside web3 and The Graph (GRT) by interviewing members of the ecosystem.

CityDAO Podcast | A Community-Governed Crypto City of the Future
Matt is one of the Co-Founders of Origami, which helps ambitious communities create the world's most valuable DAOs. Origami supports these groups through their open and effective framework for growing DAOs. Matt and his Co-Founders got together to talk about crypto projects, fun NFT investments, and what would happen if networks could be owned and governed by people, instead of corporate giants. To organize their relationship, they formed a DAO called Orange. The early days were full of challenges, while complying with regulations, creating a scale system to ensure thousands more founders could join, and keeping their Discord from melting down to chaos. As they overcame each challenge, Orange DAO grew to over 1,300 founders, raised $80 million, and invested in over 130 crypto projects. They even created a Fellowship program to educate future web3 entrepreneurs. As it all came together, other DAO creators asked for advice. They need guidance, introductions, documents, and user-friendly software. That's why four of the DAO creators founded Origami. They realized that together, they had all the skills needed to help other communities create and grow their DAOs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/city-dao-podcast/message

Our guest today is Orion Parrott, General Partner at the Orange Fund. He is an experienced leader in business and technology and uses his background to build, explore, and invest in crypto. In this episode, Orion talked a bit about his background, his experience going to Haas for the EMBA program, and his transition from being an entrepreneur to an advisor and eventually becoming a general partner.Orion also shared about Orange Fund, the investment fund of Orange DAO that invests in crypto startups, some critical aspects of DAO, and what to expect in building, exploring, and investing in crypto.Episode Quotes:On getting his MBAI looked at the MBA as a way to really focus on this other set of skills, the people skills, but also some hard technical skills in terms of finance and accounting, and to be able to get a broad picture of what it would take to start a business. Some people will say you don't need an MBA to start a startup, but for someone like me, I prefer to go at it all at once. And it was such a whirlwind of productivity, growing a dollar, and seeing different perspectives. So many things that I had always wondered about the world made a lot more sense.On how DAOs can impact the investment worldI am excited about participating in the evolution of DAO, doing the group decision-making, and keeping it really about the people so that we can support each other and really be a community. I'm excited to see how being a DAO can be an enabler of the community rather than something that detracts from it. Because, honestly, it's not necessarily a better world by being a DAO, right? You lose some of the legal definition of how things might be treated, and we believe we're paving the way to make it possible for more folks to create DAOs, which will create more opportunities for community capital and investment.Words of wisdom for the Haas communityBeing in Berkeley Haas opens many doors, and folks should feel bold about reaching out to whomever they want to connect with. I refer back to what Dean Lyons would say during our EMBA program: Berkeley Haas takes you from saying they do things to I do things, and I guess that's the encouragement. When you see people doing amazing things, you are the people who are going to do that—now and in the future.Show Links:Orion's first OneHaas episodeLinkedIn ProfileOrange FundSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

Ben's backgroundBen got into crypto in 2012 after being fascinated with the crypto white paper. Over the last couple of years, he has been able to dive into Ethereum and he believes that crypto really is the future of the internet. Ben's current projectsBen is the founder of Origami, which helps ambitious organizations build DAOs. A lot of current DAOs are simply investment groups and they have limitations. But Ben created a new framework for people who want to build the businesses of tomorrow on the blockchain. He is also one of the founders of Orange DAO, which is built on representative democracy. It's a significant success story with over $80 million in assets under it. Common growing pains for newer DAOs Most DAOs are getting conflicting advice because attorneys don't always know how to navigate the space. So a lot of DAOs are frozen in indecision because they don't want to risk making a legal mistake. This leaves a lot of organizations as a DAO in name only. Ben has also seen struggles with keeping members engaged. He is building a software program that will include a social platform that will help with member engagement for DAOs. Ben's favorite tools for DAOsHaving a spreadsheet with a seasonal budget process has been a game-changer for him. He also likes to use quadratic funding to help plan out how the DAO will grow.

In this episode of the DeFi Download, Piers Ridyard interviews Breno, founder of Boto, a platform for building bot-based automations for both developers and non-developers in DeFi and Web3.Boto's goal is to democratise bots by establishing a community in which both developers and non-developers can create and share automation. To accomplish this, the platform is a simple drag-and-drop block-based one, with no code required to build the automation logic. [0:37] The field of bot-based automations interests many people in the crypto space. Bots, on the other hand, are a persistent source of dissatisfaction. So, how does Boto make bots more accessible?[2:59] Boto's current usage on platforms such as Discord and Orange DAO, as well as the primary use case for which people are currently using Boto[4:28] An example of Boto's automation capabilities[8:42] What are the areas in which the Boto team has seen the most growth? How do they categorise their customer base with NFT monitoring and DeFi arbitration having such dissimilar customer groups?[10:02] How far does Breno believe bots will pervade everyday life? Automation, as well as the concepts of automation software and bots, have been around for quite some time. Is this something that more people are going to incorporate into their daily lives? Or will this remain a relatively niche market, appealing to a specific type of person or person with a specific problem set?[12:18] What sets Boto apart from products like Zapier and IFTTT?[14:08] In his wildest dreams or visions of what the Boto platform can do, what is the nature of problems and the most difficult automation problems that Breno would like to be able to solve with Boto?[16:59] What are some of the tasks that Breno is currently automating with Boto? What are some of the things he can't use it for that frustrate him and make him eager to work on next?[19:52] Boto's $3.7 million raise during seed funding[21:04] Breno expresses his enthusiasm for building with the team, developing the community site, empowering its users by providing them with the necessary tools, and witnessing the many interesting things people create with the platform and share with one another.[26:09] The example of Typeform and the importance of automation — Boto's core philosophy of making automation accessible to everyone, and the challenges that entails[28:38] Breno and Piers discuss Ray Dalio's book Principles and how the system of rules he shares in it can be applied to automation logic.Further resourcesWebsite: boto.io Twitter: @useboto Discord: discord.gg/CDdCPburm5
