The psychology of entrepreneurship and reimagining collaboration behind Web3 analytics, with Flipside Crypto CEO Dave Balter

Lex chats with Dave Balter about the complexities of building
data products on the blockchain and the importance of
understanding human relationships and reality when building
startups. They also discuss Flipside Crypto – a platform that
builds business intelligence via a suite of analytics tools that
provide insights into user behaviors, developer activities, and
financial health, to crypto organizations – and MetricsDAO – a
community of Web3 data analysts who provide blockchain projects
with on-demand data insights and tooling. Additionally, they
touch on replacing Excel with ChatGPT and on-chain  smart
contract data, and how to evaluate Web3 projects, as well as the
future of how the value chain stacks on top of data and analytics
to actually drive decisions and potentially drive automated
decisions
