Jake Paul is making every VC on Sand Hill Road look broke
Jake Paul’s Anti Fund is proving that traditional venture capital is dead because suits can’t buy the attention we already own. They spend six months doing ‘due diligence’ while influencers can fund a company and 10x its users in a weekend. I’m watching this closely because this is how you turn a personal brand into a sovereign empire. The legacy firms are terrified and they should be—money is cheap but influence is the real currency now.
