Tekin Salimi on Managing $125M Through A DAO

This week on The Defiant Podcast, we speak with Tekin Salimi, the founder of dao5, a Web 3 investment fund founded last year. Tekin was previously at Polychain Capital.

Dao5 is an experimental cryptocurrency investment fund with plans to convert into a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO.

We dive into the biggest DAO drama from the last year, why Tekin is so bullish and excited about DAOs.

We also discuss Tekin's investment thesis while he was at Polychain, his switch to focus mostly on the Ethereum ecosystem at dao5, Web 3 infrastructure, NFTs, regulations, his thoughts on FTX, and so much more.
