AMA VC #7 - NFTs & backing Sorare since its 2019 US$ 500k pre-seed round, with Sia Houchangnia, Partner @Seedcamp.

AMA VC #7 with with Sia Houchangnia, Partner at
Seedcamp!


From April to May 2020, we had the idea to organize 6 immersive
live talks with VCs about specific topics such as “Product-Market
/ Fit” / “Revenue models” / “Founding team” / “Market sizing” /
“Hiring needs” / “How much to raise in a round” in a very comfy
format: we invited a VC and welcomed 3 to 5 participants who
asked all their questions directly to the VC who candidly shared
her insights and actionable pieces of advice.


We then published the replay as a podcast. It is a format
participants loved as much as we did. So AMA VC is back today
with this exciting discussion about Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
from the angle of a VC with Sia Houchangnia,
Partner at Seedcamp (Revolut, Transferwise,
UiPath...) who has backed Sorare since its 2019
US$500k pre-seed round (Sorare just announced in 2021 a US$50M
round with Benchmark and Accel).


In this awesome episode, Sia goes into


_ Consumer incentives for buying & collecting NFTs and what
portability implies


_ What has yet to be developed in the NFT value chain


_ The opportunity for founders in the NFT space to think from day
one "open platform" and interconnections of layers to be built on
top of their product


_ Lessons by Sia from his investment in Sorare for investors in
the NFT space...


...and a few more topics.


Enjoy the episode !
