Stumbled upon this fire podcast featuring Ryan Peterman and Jayendra Jog – the brain behind Sei Labs.

Jay's story hits different. From grinding at Robinhood (yeah, THAT trading platform) to securing a massive $35M bag for building SeiNetwork. The whole journey from traditional finance into the blockchain space? Pure inspiration for anyone eyeing the crypto founding game.

NGL, Sei this time really has some potential, but after raising 35 million in funding, what's the situation now?

Seeing Sei coming in from Robinhood, its credibility instantly feels different. The $35M fundraising is also quite impressive.

I also looked at that Sei funding round. Jumping from Robinhood to on-chain, this guy really has some skills. But honestly, $35M compared to the current fundraising landscape isn't actually that big, especially with such fierce competition...

Damn, jumping from Robinhood to Web3 and directly raising $35M—this guy is seriously ruthless.

NGL, I laughed when I saw the Robinhood part. This is what you call truly ditching one platform for another.

ngl Sei's fundraising story is really something—jumping out of Robinhood and immediately securing $35M... now that's what you call a career turning point.

From Robinhood to $35M in funding, that pivot is truly impressive. I’m curious how Jay adapted the traditional finance mindset to the fast-paced environment on-chain.

Jay's story is truly incredible. The leap from Robinhood to raising $35m shows that a traditional finance background is really valuable in Web3.

Robinhood pivots to blockchain, directly securing $35M in funding... That pivot is way too smooth, miles ahead of my own career change.
