Web3 / crypto investment research
Run a paid research service covering crypto funds, token launches, and on-chain opportunities.
The idea, in plain language
This is a paid research or media service around Web3, crypto, token opportunities, and broader investment themes. It makes money through subscriptions, content-to-commerce, paid research, community access, or portfolio-related products. The customer is an investor, crypto-curious operator, or niche enthusiast who wants interpretation of markets and trends. Starting requires content credibility, research discipline, audience building, and strong compliance judgment rather than much physical capital. The synopses quote Hodinkee at roughly $100M/year, Native selling for $100M, a $100M personal portfolio, and otherwise focus more on macro views than concrete paid-research economics.
Where the sources agree
- The strongest version depends on audience trust and clear analysis, not just access to crypto headlines.
- Several videos connect investing content to a broader media, community, or commerce flywheel.
- The space requires deep knowledge because poor research or trading advice can be costly.
Where they differ
- Kevin Rose's example is a niche enthusiast media and commerce model with Web3 as one theme, not a pure crypto research service.
- Moiz Ali discusses portfolio management and underpriced assets more than Web3 specifically.
- Howard Lindzon and Raoul Pal take macro and disruptive-innovation angles, while Gary Vaynerchuk emphasizes trend spotting and NFTs.
- The videos disagree in specificity: some are practical business flywheels, while others are mostly investment philosophy.
