Hivello is making decentralized infrastructure more accessible by allowing users to monetize idle computing resources — from bandwidth and storage to GPU power — with minimal technical knowledge. With Swarm joining networks like Golem, Filecoin, and Livepeer, Hivello continues to lower the entry barrier to Web3 and expand passive earning opportunities for everyday users. A great milestone toward bridging the Web2–Web3 gap through simplicity and usability. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/esdmR_2r #Hivello #Swarm #DePIN #Web3 #PortfolioUpdate #DecentralizedInfrastructure #TechInnovation #YellowRocksVC

A clever take on how to stand out to investors. Check out these creative and lighthearted tips on connecting with investors. Definitely worth a read for anyone looking to catch their attention in new ways!
What if investors don’t respond to your connection requests? 🤔 No worries, we've got you covered. Here are some tongue-in-cheek tips 😜 guaranteed to get you noticed (but maybe not in the way you’d hope): 📨 Reach out beyond the 9-to-5 People love surprises, and investors are no exception. Imagine how happy they’ll be to receive a message from a future unicorn at 3 a.m. Nothing says “innovative” like catching them off guard! Bonus points if your pitch deck comes with a small riddle like a series of blurry screenshots from the Notes app. Who doesn’t love a little mystery? 😎 Flex Hard, Fake It Till You Make It No traction? No revenue? No problem! What matters most is your confidence and ambitions. Introduce your startup as the next “OpenAI, but with vibes” and watch the commitments roll in. 👥 Network Like a Ninja Direct eye contact can be risky (just ask anyone who’s dealt with stray dogs). To play it safe at networking events, avoid locking eyes with investors. Instead, hover near the snacks and try to vanish when someone tries to approach you. The secret guest will definitely spark curiosity. 📢 Every Interaction Is a Pitch Opportunity A random investor on a plane? Pitch. Elevator ride? You guessed it - pitch while drawing rising graphs in the air. You never know when opportunity will strike, so get ready to pitch at a moment’s notice. ✒️ Follow Up Like Your Life Depends On It Nothing screams "invest in me" like 37 unread emails and a LinkedIn request every time they sneeze. Wear investors down with your persistence until the fortress falls. In Pre-seed to Succeed, we advise you NOT TO FEEL FREE taking this advice seriously unless your goal is to achieve “spectacular failure” levels of comedy. Investors, how do you prefer to be reached out to by founders? Please share with us in the comments! #networking #startupnetworking #tips #preseed #seed #funding #fundraise
