Today on the show, I (@defiremoney) am going to visit a venture capitalist with a pleasing baritone voice. Ryan Zurrer (@kukulabanze) is the founder of Dialectic (@Dialectic_CH). Ryan somehow managed to reliably be early to almost everything. From crypto, renewables, NFTs and now even psychedelics.In this conversation, we talk about his journey from trading dot-com stocks as a teenager to how he became CEO of a big energy company in Brazil when he was only 25 years old.Ryan also shares the stories of the early days of Polychain Capital (@polychaincap) and how two guys with a laptop started one of the most successful VC funds out of an apartment in San Francisco.But that's not all; we also talk about NFTs and Art.Ryan recently gained notoriety in the art world when he bought Human One, a digital artwork slash sculpture by the artist Beeple (@Beeple) for 29 million dollars. Ryan relives the moment of the auction, explains his strategy and tells us what makes this sculpture of an astronaut strolling through a dystopian landscape so unique.Sponsor: CryptoValley.jobsCryptoValley.jobs is a job board where Engineers, Designers, Analysts, Traders, and Community Builders can find excellent crypto jobs.

In our most diverse interview yet, Collectability's John Reardon and venture investor Ryan Zurrer explore the intersection of art, NFTs, watch collecting and saving the world. Last year, Ryan Zurrer garnered international media attention when he paid $29 million for Beeple's kinetic video sculpture, Human One. Here he explains why and the future importance of NFTs in every aspect of our lives, as well as the art and watch industries. Ryan Zurrer's captivating career has spanned future technologies from renewable energy to crypto, yet he is also a distinguished collector of vintage Patek Philippe watches, particularly Gondolo pocket watches and early wristwatches. Zurrer explains why he collects from both the past and the future, and his assertion that Patek Philippe vintage watches are a good store of value. He also explains why he believes that mental health is the biggest problem on the planet and why he has invested in psychedelic therapy in a mission to provide a tool that can help many people. #patekphilippe #vintagepatek #chronometrogondolo #NFT #Technologist #cryptocurrency #ryanzurrer #beeple #humanone #digitalart #psychodelics

After a successful career in entrepreneurship and cryptocurrency, Ryan Zurrer turned his attention to the burgeoning psychedelic space. As he continued to learn more via research, attending conferences, and speaking with others, he became concerned about what he considers the “dystopian future” of psychedelic therapies - sterile doctors’ offices, $8000 treatments, synthetic drugs, no community or connection. Determined to help others harness the powerful benefits of plant medicines in traditional settings, he started Vine Ventures, a VC fund focusing on a future in which everyone who wants to access a psychedelic experience can do so safely, legally, and affordably. In this episode, Ryan and Paul discuss the importance of accessibility, Ryan’s criteria for investment, and the differences between a centralized and decentralized approach to therapy and legalization.

Today's episode features Ryan Zurrer, founder of Vine Ventures, one of the first venture capital funds investing in psychedelic medicine. Ryan has deep roots in psychedelics culture and understands the many cultures within the psychedelic space. His fund is aligned with those values.If you’re a founder, investor, or early hire at a psychedelic company, this episode is a must-listen!In this episode, we discuss:Which psychedelic business models are a good fit for venture capital?Why did Ryan start Vine Ventures?What traits of entrepreneurs does Ryan invest in?Which form of psychedelic medicine is better: natural or synthetic compounds? Links to topics discussed in this episode:PharmauascaOregon Initiative Measure 109ENTHEONPsyGenCalifornia SoberAtaiCompassGet in touch with Ryan Zurrer - TW: @rzurrer LI: Ryan ZurrerRead the transcript here.Watch episode 3 on YouTube.Created by Greg Kubin and Matias SerebrinskyHost: Greg KubinProduced by Jonathan DavisFind us at businesstrip.fmFollow us on Instagram and Twitter!Theme music by Dorian LoveAdditional music by Blue Dot Sessions and Chad Crouch

Ryan Zurrer, formerly chief commercial officer and director at the Web 3 foundation and former principal and partner at Polychain Capital, discusses his recent proposal for a new DAO, reviving one of the most notorious experiments in crypto history. Zurrer explains the way it works, some of the new technologies, such as SourceCred, that he thinks could make a new DAO better than the original, what problem he wants to solve with the DAO, and how it would work. He also talks about why he believes that if the DAO had survived, that the due diligence in the space would be far higher than it was during the ICO craze, and why he thinks that the architecture of the DAO he's proposed will not violate U.S. securities law.  Thank you to our sponsors!

This was an awesome episode where we discuss everything from how the Web3 foundation is ushering in the decentralized web where users control their data to Polkadot, a high profile interoperability project.
