Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy task at all. When you choose a path of fending for yourself in business, the only person who can be blamed for failures is yourself.

NBA All-Star-Turned-Web3 Investor Has This Advice for Entrepreneurs Launching a Startup

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. If you're reading this, then chances are you'll agree: Starting a Web3 business feels daunting and confusing. At least, that's how I felt when I first started funding my business with Web3 solutions for early-stage crowdfunding. The learning curve felt almost out of reach. My perspective changed, however, after sitting with my friend Metta World Peace — yes, the former Lakers legend who brought home an NBA Championship in 2010. He coached me on how his targeted $1 billion venture capital fund Tru evaluates his portfolio investments.
