On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Katherine Wu, Investor at Archetype VC and Research Fellow for Crypto Council for Innovation. Katherine received the most votes out of all the guests nominated for this season of Rehash. Katherine was nominated by Diana Chen and some of the questions asked in this episode were submitted by DAO member Carsten (@carstenpoetter).We kickoff the episode getting to know Katherine, her background, and how she got into crypto investing. Katherine explains what she loves most about being a VC and gives us some insight to what it’s like being a VC in the web3 space as opposed to traditional investing. She talks about investing in founders, and clears up for us how “ideas” get funding before they are even working product. Katherine explains how she chooses projects to invest in, but emphasizes the importance of doing your own research. She explains some of the risks involved in investing, specifically, risks regarding regulation (or lack thereof.) We continue our discussion on regulation, and talk about ways to innovate in the web3 space safely. We close out our conversation looking to the future, making predictions about our current bear market, and discussing our hopes and fears for crypto in the next 5 years. We play a game of this or that, and Katherine gives us the inside scoop on her new podcast launching soon.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.
