Bear market survival in web3: Podcast Interview with theaccountantquits.eth / Request Finance

Reposted via theaccountantquits.eth

Crypto is subject to high volatility and even large market cap protocols are not immune to over 75% pricing drops.

The majority of a web3 project or DAO’s treasury is typically held in their native governance token and turbulent market conditions amplifies the need for good treasury management.

One that does not jeopardize the viability of the project and reassures the community on its financial health.

To discuss operating in a bear market including survival, growing, hiring, and treasury management, I spoke to Kishan Shah, a former growth equity investor at Goldman Sachs & CFO at venture capital backed and publicly traded tech companies, now helping web3 companies grow faster and manage their treasury.

In this episode, you will learn; 

  1. How should web3 projects view the bear market?
  2. Considerations for hiring a web3 cfo?
  3. What is capital allocation and why is it important?
  4. What are best practices on financial reporting?
  5. What is Treasury management and why does it matter?
  6. How is web3 tooling different from web2?
