OM DENNE EPISODE
Niklas Anzinger runs a fund called Infinita VC which is dedicated to creating more regulatory sandboxes and special jurisdictions by investing in startup societies, network states, and more. We discuss how venture capital can be ethically deployed to create more "base layer innovations." A special thank you to Niklas for introducing multiple past guests to the show - it was high time to bring him on to Campfire.
