Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

Our tech is enterprise grade.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

I just want to prove it by giving it to the person who knows the least.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And if they can build with it and build something amazing, then obviously the enterprises can too.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

No, we're actually bootstrapped ourselves.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

I think a vast majority of our funding, putting aside like marketing budget and stuff, has gone to the team.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

The team is obviously the best place you can spend the money, but that does ratchet up the importance of spending that money well and on the right people.

350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And so

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

As far as like, you know, what projects are and what makes them successful, it all comes down to the human beings involved in it.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And we've been fortunate enough to do a fair bit of bootstrapping, kind of using incentivizing and aligning the team with our token and giving them like a high upside with the project.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

But there is obviously costs associated with having people and having them involved.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And so a majority of our spend would go towards that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

The other kind of big bucket of spend has been like table stakes and

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

infrastructure, you know, doing things like hosting all of our stuff, testing, load tests and things like that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And then the other bucket is marketing.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And that's always kind of the scariest one, because sometimes the spend is a little bit like concrete, but the outcomes can be a little less concrete.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

And so when you're thinking about spending tens of thousands of dollars a month,

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

on marketing campaigns, you want to have a solid idea of what you're going to get out of it.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

I think we've been lucky with the partners we've worked with.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
350: Reimagining Blockchain Dev: How Canopy Simplifies Building L1s with Guest Speaker Adam Liposky from Canopy Network

Things have gone, you know, pretty well gone to plan.
