You, Me, & Web3 LIVE with JBond

This week we welcomed JBond yet again, this time for a live discussion on how to grow a Web3 business using decentralised IP.

It’s a particularly relevant topic as we celebrate the ApeCoin DAO’s approval for our Ape Accelerator, which will eventually become an engine for growth for the BAYC ecosystem through projects just like the ones JBond has founded.

This is an episode worth listening to again! It’s available now on Twitter.
