More Money More Problems with Ryan Zurrer
May 26, 2022
Today on the show, I (@defiremoney) am going to visit a VC with a pleasing baritone voice. Ryan Zurrer (@kukulabanze) is the founder of Dialectic (@Dialectic_CH). Ryan somehow managed to reliably be early to almost everything. From crypto, renewables, NFTs and now even psychedelics. In this conversation, we talk about his journey from trading dot com stocks as a teenager to how he became CEO of a big energy company in Brazil when he was only 25 years old. Ryan also shares the stories of the early days of Polychain Capital (@polychaincap) and how two guys with a laptop started one of the most successful VC funds out of an apartment in San Francisco. But that's not all; we also talk about NFTs and Art. Ryan recently gained notoriety in the art world when he bought Human One, a digital artwork slash sculpture by the artist Beeple for 29 million dollars. Ryan relives the moment of the auction, explains his strategy and tells us what makes this sculpture of an astronaut strolling through a dystopian landscape so unique.
