The Scoop Podcast

www.veradiverdict.com

Last week, I visited NYC and was able to catch up with some of our portfolio companies in the area, Staked, Bakkt, and Tagomi. They all work with institutional investors but offer different products.

Another portfolio company that I caught up with was The Block. The company recently expanded their product line to include The Block Daily, which provides daily premium content, and a podcast called The Scoop.

Since I was in town, I swung by The Block office and was able to chat with Frank Chaparro and Matteo Liebowitz on The Scoop Podcast about investment trends, certain blockchain projects, and our philosophy. Check it out in the below link.
