Welcome 👋

My name is Patrick Rivera and I've spent the past few years building consumer apps in crypto / web3 as a growth engineer. I’m currently building a new type of NFT project and web3 brand that’s launching this summer.

Previously, I was a growth engineer at Mirror, Instacart, and Dharma (before it was acquired by OpenSea).

I also write about the intersection of crypto and culture.

Here are some of my most popular posts:

• A Presentation on Crypto Fundamentals and NFTs

• Come for the Creator, Stay for the Economy

• Thoughts on DAO Tooling

• Community DAOs

• Designing Internet-Native Economies: A Guide to Crypto Tokens (A16Z Future)

• How Crypto Projects Like Loot are Rewriting the Playbook for Building Communities (Means of Creation podcast)

• The Next Crypto Cycle - Web3, DAOs, and NFTs (The Deep End podcast by On Deck)

• Lifecycle of Web3 Communities (On the Other Side podcast by Chase Chapman with accompanying slides here)
