Teams are constrained by dominant meta, Kain Warwick admits
In 2024, even the most successful Web 3.0 teams looking for fresh funds are constrained by the current meta if they want to raise big rounds, Warwick shared in his latest thread on Twitter with 123,000 followers. From the seed investor’s perspective, the signals of a project’s traction — in terms of user base, potential customers, airdrop farmers — remain unchanged: VCs are looking for products with growing TVL, large numbers of Twitter and Telegram followers and so on. That said, investors are still using these primitive indicators of social engagement to calculate the potential number of retail token buyers.
