Will Papper is the Co-Founder of Syndicate, a protocol building the investing infrastructure for web3. Will has been in the crypto space since 2013, grabbing some Eth during its presale, and even investing in the very first DAO - The DAO.Will explains what investment DAOs are, how they work, and why they are so important. He gives us some background on how Syndicate came to be, how it has evolved, and tells us about their ongoing process of implementing user feedback. We also discuss the biggest challenges Syndicate is tackling and Will’s favorite part about working there. We then turn to a crucial aspect of web3 that Will and Syndicate are plenty familiar with - composability. Will explains the value and significance of composability and what it brings to the web3 space. He believes that composability is not only an important aspect of blockchains, but possibly their strongest feature. He also touches on the power of smart contracts, software that runs forever, and how all of this creates a robust system that is simply not possible in web2. Finally, Will gives us the inside scoop on what’s next for Syndicate and shares his favorite place in the world.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro0:35 Will’s background2:57 Investment DAOs4:09 The impetus behind Syndicate 7:10 Syndicate and user feedback10:11 Why investment DAOs are so important11:23 Syndicate’s biggest challenge13:22 Will’s favorite part about working at Syndicate15:00 Composability17:33 Communicating the value of web3 to non-crypto-natives 20:23 Will’s least favorite part about web324:19 What’s next for Syndicate26:00 Will’s favorite place in the world 27:40 Follow Will!Follow Us!Tally: https://twitter.com/tallyxyzTommy: https://twitter.com/tommylower Will: https://twitter.com/WillPapper Syndicate: https://twitter.com/SyndicateDAO DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
