Serial entrepreneur | VC 500 Startups | Forbes 30u30

I'm a combination of a business entrepreneur and startup investor, writer, and mystery designer. I believe in growing companies via mission-driven community movements. That’s my specialty. My superpower is building relationships.

I've helped grow a Fortune 100 compan...y in Best Buy and I've started and sold 2 startups. I've written articles for Entrepreneur, VentureBeat, The Guardian, StarTribune, The Startup, and Startup Grind. I've bootstrapped and I've raised $10M in venture capital. I've also been a VC and invested $30M into over 200 startups. Did I tell you I'm a Gemini?

I grew up in Little Valhalla (aka Minnesota) and put in 6 years in San Francisco (aka Silicon Valley City). More recently I spent 2 years traveling around the globe with my soul partner in life Danyelle visiting 60 countries and supporting thousands of entrepreneurs by running startup programs in far-off places like Albania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam. Building the net worth of startup ecosystems is at the core of my work.

I'm always excited to talk philosophy and I will definitely pet your dog. Oh, and I love saunas, banya, hot springs, and all thermaculture. You betcha! Skol!

Who's been your favorite HumanIPO-er to own? Why?

COMMENT

Qi Tian
My portfolio looks really nice, however there are two things that are missing for me:

1 - the way to interact with people that are in my portfolio.

2 - get more signals from them. (or to be noticed by them somehow).

Any thoughts on that @tristan.pollock, @humanipo?

@qi.tian thank you for feedback 🙌 Over the next couple of weeks you'll see more changes and new features we are working right now. It is time to bring more fun to community! ✌️

There are a few important changes coming up on how the redemption and economics work. It will give much more freedom in hands of HumanIPO-ers. 🤙

Also DMs, a better analytics on the shareholders, more big names joining!

1. For my feed to include people I follow and not people I don’t.

2. For HumanIPO-ers to be more easily searchable by mission and skills (ie. keys words or tags).

@hason.greene thanks! 👌

Just added #1 in our dev pipeline, and #2 already in work.

What's your favorite crypto? Would you like to see a HUMANIPO coin? $HIPO

COMMENT

Stefan Kunz
Among the newcomer crypto projects my clear favorite is DefiChain (https://defichain.com/). Among the „older“ ones which are not yet that popular but could have a very bright future ahead I‘m watching IOTA as an alternative to classical blockchain applications.

HIPO as a HUMANIPO coin sounds like a great idea - I would vote for it ;-)

Qi Tian
#Dogecoin : ) It's surging now for a while! Most of the cryptos are cult-driven assets, and it's about bringing the power to communities.

$HIPO as a governance token sounds interesting. What's your thoughts on that @tristan.pollock?

~ months ago ・ Reply

Tristan Pollock
Sadly, @qi.tian, I never rode the $DOGE train 😢

But I do like the idea of empowering the HumanIPO community further with a token that gives governance power. I think that would drive a HUGE amount of engagement and excitement from the greater crypto community.

What companies have you seen at the intersection of crypto and climate?

I'm excited by both spaces and would love to see the technology intertwine to help the planet.

The short answer is it depends. But in general, I think it's a value created plus recognised.

Tristan, what do you think about auomating psychotherapy, psychological consulting and coaching? I am creating an app for this all, starting from psychotherapy...

Sounds needed and interesting to me. Tell me more about what you mean by automating it.

Hey Tristan, what do you think about an app that rewards you in cryptocurrency for your self improvement? For example, getting rewarded for burning calories, academic achievements or simply learning more about yourself.
