We’re excited to debut The Hydra Ventures Podcast on Pods.
The podcast began in October as a way for people to learn about Hydra – the first dedicated investment DAO focused on backing and incubating other investment DAOs.
Hydra is an evolution of MetaCartel and MetaCartel Ventures – one of the first DAOs with a deep community that began distributing capital to projects furthering Ethereum’s adoption.
They’ve been this for years, and their journey has led the community to go all-in on investment DAOs.
After announcing the fund earlier this year, two members, Jakub and Victor, launched the Hydra Ventures Podcast - interviewing founders, key players, and portfolio investments from the community.
Today, we’ve onboarded Hydra, allowing them to publish their podcasts onchain.
Hydra Ventures Onchain Debut 🐙
For those that have been following along with Pods, you may be used to the Launch Collection format where we release 5 episodes from the podcasts’ archive.
However, we’re doing it a bit differently this time.
Instead of five episode, we’re only releasing one episode from Season 1.
This is the first ever podcast episode from Hydra Ventures, giving a rundown on Hydra’s origin story, how it works, and gives a look into the behind-the-scenes of the DAO.
The episode features some of the founders and early members of Hydra - including 1kx’s Pet3rpan, MCV’s Ben Middleton, Thing3’s Danny Carpio, and ReadyPlayerDAO’s Austin McKee.
This episode is available to collect for FREE on Pods for 30 days.
The remaining four episodes from Season 1 will be released in the New Year.
The gameplan?
Anyone that collects this episode will earn an allowlist spot for free mints on the remaining four episodes from Season 1.
A little carrot for the community to collect this episode. 🥕
We’ll see you in 2024 🍾
The Hydra community is deeply rooted within Ethereum.
Many of the members have been around for years, pioneering some of the earliest experiments with human coordination on a digital scale.
From distributing grants to hackathon projects in the depths of the 2018 bear market with MetaCartel, to investing in some of the most prominent projects in the space with MCV, Hydra Ventures is home to the best crypto natives in the world.
We’re excited to align with them with the debut of Hydra Ventures on Pods.
✨ **You can collect the first episode ever here. **✨
Hydra Ventures brings the total podcasts on Pods to 10.
A new record and a great way to end the year.
More onchain podcasts are coming.
Brick by brick. Happy Holidays. 🎄
