Episode Synopsis

Follow Proof of Coverage Media: https://x.com/Proof_CoverageSanti, Jason, Sal & Connor  explore the realities of scaling. Highlighting why sometimes doing things that don’t scale is the key to growth -  and how lessons from running reflect the discipline required in business. The speakers discuss the fundraising journey, the importance of building strong investor relationships, and the unique value private equity can unlock, before diving into the intersection of crypto and DePIN technology and their potential to transform industries. From innovations in energy distribution to the surging demand for wireless and Helium’s deflationary model, they unpack the market dynamics shaping the future. At the core is a focus on community-driven user acquisition, clarity, and the principle of going slow to go fast.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction01:02 - Scaling Insights from Running and Business05:58 - Fundraising Journey and Investor Relation11:47 - Unique Insights in Private Equity and Crypto18:03 -  DePIN Technology and Real-World Applications23:47 -  Innovations in Energy and Distributed Power29:57 - Market Strategies and User Acquisition35:37 -  Helium's Deflationary Model and Market DynamicsDisclaimer: The hosts and the firms they represent may hold stakes in the companies mentioned in this podcast.
