Crypto often feels like a circus but beneath the spectacle lies a community forging genuine innovations in finance, data privacy and decentralized governance. The crypto industry needs to do a better job of earning trust, especially from those outside the bubble.
The coming year promises to reshape the technology landscape, from Web3 and AI to the regulatory frameworks that govern innovation. In my latest Newsweek column, I examine the signals that point toward a friendlier environment for emerging tech sectors. As new departments and roles are introduced in government, and as public attitudes toward breakthrough technologies evolve, founders must be ready to leverage fresh momentum.
A conversation with Aaron Stanley on the Brazil Crypto Report podcast took me back through my journey—from reporting on some of the most tumultuous events in Latin America to co-founding Angle42, where we specialize in strategic communications for tech startups in the crypto space.
I recently had the pleasure of joining Harrison Wright on The Blockchain Startup Show. Our conversation delved into the unique pressures that first-time founders face and how strategic communications can be a game-changer for tech startups navigating the evolving landscape of Web3.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of modern innovation, yet it faces a growing trust deficit reminiscent of the early days of cryptocurrency. The AI industry can learn from the crypto sector’s communication and public engagement challenges to foster trust and ensure responsible advancement.
In today’s fast-paced digital age, startups often prioritize social media and direct communication channels. While these platforms provide valuable opportunities, they aren’t a substitute for the credibility that comes with earned media.
Mark Zuckerberg showed off a T-shirt emblazoned with the ancient Greek phrase “pathei mathos” (learning through suffering) at a recent interview appearance. For startup founders, this concept resonates deeply with the realities of building and leading a company in today’s fast-paced world.
The energy at Mainnet, the annual Web3 gathering in New York, was notably different from the vibrant buzz of Token2049 in Singapore last month or the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville the month before. But that’s a good thing.
In 2024, it can seem like social media are the news media. This can make it difficult to determine the content value of any particular media outlet—or even of the media as a whole. The fact is this: In a time when there is more noise than ever, the key is to know how to establish signal.
The Angle42 team joined over 20,000 attendees at Token2049, Asia’s largest annual Web3 conference. Our mission was clear: to support our clients in making their mark amid the noise and excitement.
