Investors are sleeping on both atproto and Bluesky.

It's actually surprising because investors are some of the only people that have truly internalized the power of networks.

There should be multiple firms doing atproto and Bluesky funds already.

Will be interesting to see who does the first one!

I’m looking to fund small developers who have an amazing idea/product/service or MVP. If you are building on the AT Protocol even better. Can support up to $1k/week initially. You should have a tentative plan to profitability. If you have something in the works or know anyone DM me or share this. ✌️
