Today I am speaking with Max Scruffur, Head of Research at WWVentures, a venture capital firm with a unique focus on social capital and Web3 investments. Max has a diverse background, having started as an entrepreneur with various side hustles in his youth, and later moving into the world of venture capital and crypto.
During this interview, Max shares his fascinating journey, beginning with his entrepreneurial spirit in high school, where he ran successful side businesses like hosting eSports events and even operating a Minecraft server. We dive into his early interest in crypto, including his role in early Bitcoin-to-fiat transactions back in 2010, and his interest in tokenomics, driven partly by his love for game theory. Max also offers insights into the future of web3, the intersection of AI and blockchain, and the unique approach WWVentures takes by leveraging social capital with influencers like Mr. Beast and athletes like Michael Bisping.
