Ecosystem & Ventures @ Base, Coinbase | Consumer & Social @ Social Graph Ventures

I’m a relentless optimist and problem solver with operating + investing experience across consumer, marketplaces, and SaaS. Currently driving ecosystem growth in crypto / web3 and investing in the app and middleware layer of onchain social. As an entrepreneur at heart, I previously founded a patent licensing marketplace and an ecommerce clothing business. I’m also passionate about supporting the startup ecosystem, having worked with founders on product, go-to-market, research, brand, and business development at two venture capital firms. In my spare time, I write at dtso.org and enjoy chatting with people who are deep in crypto-adjacent rabbit holes of their own. You can reach me by email at ct534@cornell.edu or DM me on Twitter / X @davidtsocy.
