Epitome of investors not worrying about any comparative models and believing in people who are of high integrity, smart, driven, and game changers. This is a great precedent for the Web3 space https://t.co/o99UxZJmzY

Impressive to see @a16z lead growth rounds in so many major NFT-enabled communities...

Serious conviction in what the IP + communities enable!
So if I buy @veefriends does that mean I get to hang out with @garyvee in Soho House or is there a Vee House already? My point is: What are the “club” benefits? And is this really an old fashioned subscription? https://t.co/4YLQleTlPP

Veefriends is one of the most cringe NFTs and communities https://t.co/6C1HrnprX6

I don't know how to tell the web3 people that you can create a members-only club and throw events without needing an NFT. https://t.co/Ad1LP3xaKs

the real lesson of web 3 is what @garyvee is showing … personality , community , hustle , brand and NO freaking advertising dollars (at least I hope ). this is really smart for @a16z but I also must ask why as a web 3 guy myself. https://t.co/I9AdBpuSGH

Gary Vaynerchuk is kind of singular among internet personalities in the way he’s made the jump and stuck the landing on basically each phase of the web, from pre-social media all the way to NFT / Web3 stuff? https://t.co/URuhnKsIXq

日本ではあまり知られてないけど、Garyveeという世界的に有名な起業家とインフルエンサーによるpj.
ちなみに彼が一般人をnftに参加させたと言われてる。俺もその1人。
今後どうなるか楽しみ!🔥 https://t.co/rqXqmqKUKw
The world seriously needs better investors who care deeply about using capital to create a more equitable society and not shilling ridiculous ideas. But it’s not my money, so what do I know 🤷🏿♂️ https://t.co/aIFYsFNh8I

This is a pretty bad look for A16Z. Gary Vaynerchuk doesn’t need $50M to promote his scam. Perhaps a16z was showing E M P A T H Y. Gary must have G R A T I T U D E. https://t.co/grWfNaJHv8

It happened to Yuga labs and now Vee friends. This will be a trend in the next 6-12 months!

Top that off with the @a16z seed round news. What a freaking week for @garyvee and the wonderful team/ecosystem he has built.
Good humans win. 🤝https://t.co/W8Ycm9wnTT
A web3 brand that centers around a single individual - “king of the castle” model - is completely contradictory to the ethos of the space.
