  • Urbit Explained: A Beginner's Guide for Cryptonatives

    Jake Brukhman is the Founder and Managing Partner at CoinFund. Evan Fisher is the Founder and Managing Partner at Portal Ventures.

    In this episode, we walk through a beginner's guide to Urbit, geared towards cryptonatives. If you're into crypto, you may find a home here in Urbit! Founded in 2002 long before Bitcoin and Ethereum, Urbit is a platform that enables the creation and execution of composable, permissionless, and trustless internet applications through a network of personal servers.

    We interview Urbit investors Evan Fisher and Jake Brukhman about the basics of how Urbit aims to rebuild the Internet from a clean slate, where there are intersections between crypto and Urbit, what use cases they’re excited to see built, how Urbit accrues value, and how we can get involved.
