📝 Hot Off the Presses.
Braintrust is a blockchain-powered talent network, and very proud of it. But have you ever wondered why blockchain is in the mix? Or why you constantly hear the term “user-owned and controlled”?

Then check out Why Braintrust Was Founded, a letter from Co-Founders Adam Jackson and Gabe Luna-Ostaseski. Think of it like a declaration of decentralization or an ode to the ownership economy. Or, just a letter that shares the real human emotion and motivation behind all these $5 words and fancy tech. It’s the “why” behind all the work that goes into building this user-owned network. And not to come off as biased, but it’s a pretty inspiring story. Check it out.
A few good reads:
- It’s not all ping pong tables and cold brew kegs. The things talent want from work are not what Silicon Valley is used to offering.
- All companies are tech companies now. And Talent? They’re the ones who are benefitting from it.
- Meeting coworkers in person for the first time after WFH is awkward. But it doesn’t have to be!
