Ok hi now that you're here, we’re opening our doors and hiring two shippers to join Bello’s HQ to transform blockchain data into actionable insights for the new generation of creators. Read our story and apply below. 👇

- Still reflecting on last week's drop with @christina.lens. If you collected at least 1 Podcast NFT, then this group chat was made for you: https://guild.xyz/mint-podcast-collectors
- We just completed the first week of a16z's Crypto Startup School, and are thrilled to share our experience with you. As creators ourselves, we thought it would be valuable to document our journey as we navigate this three-month accelerator program.
In this blog and podcast, we will share some of the insights and ideas we gained during the first week of CSS and how they are shaping Bello. Specifically, we’re taking note of where we are today, and where we’ll be at the end of May when the accelerator commences.
Throughout the week, we got to meet the other teams in our cohort and had the incredible opportunity to learn from some of the most experienced minds in the crypto space like Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, a16z’s Chris Dixon and Sriram Krishnan, Stanford’s Dan Boneh and more.
The program kicked off with an inspiring talk by Chris Dixon, who discussed the evolution of the internet from Web 1 to Web 2 to Web 3. He emphasized the importance of owning the digital things we create online and building communities in the ownership layer of the internet. This resonated with us because we are building Bello for creators and want to empower users to own their data. Dixon's concept of creating an ownership layer of the internet has significant implications for the future of the web, and we are excited to explore this further.
Probably the analogy that stuck with us the most had to be Dixon’s perspective on building a town hall and eventually expanding into a city, which in part refers to you that’s consuming this content right now. From finding your first few users that align with your purpose, and spreading that gospel to grow the town into a city is a concept that really resonated with us.
Another speaker that stood out was Sriram Krishnan, an expert in product development. He stressed the importance of iterating quickly and building a feedback loop to respond to user insights. He coined this cycle as the OODA Loop where teams must Observe, Orient, Decode, and Act. Teams who fulfill the loop consistently as fast as possible win above all. This is something we are constantly working on at Bello, and Krishnan's advice was incredibly helpful. He also highlighted the significance of building a product that users love, which requires continuous improvement.
When Brian Armstrong (and his bodyguards) entered the room, you could feel an uptick in energy. Throughout the hour, he spoke about being cautious of attending conferences, growing your team while finding product market fit, and shared his advice with hiring your first few employees. TLDR, if the candidate is not a hell yes, then they’re a hard no.
The week commenced with an awesome social event with drinks and catering where the cohort came together, met one another in an intimate setting, and spoke about our goals for the accelerator.
The biggest takeaway for us was getting a glimpse into what the structure and agenda would look like for Bello for the next three months. It felt like being back in school, except this time, we can directly apply what we learn in the classroom to positively impact you guys.
We consider the first week of Crypto Startup School to be a success, so stay tuned for our next update, where we will share our insights and experiences from Week 2 of the accelerator program.

- ✨ **Introducing Glass Protocol ✨**
gm lens fam ☀️ For those of you that don’t know us, we’re building a protocol for decentralized video on Ethereum.
We’re passionate about video. We believe in having true ownership over the videos you make, how they’re seen, and how they’re monetized. That’s why we’re building an open, permissionless protocol for owning, distributing, and building communities around video.
And that’s why we’re constantly experimenting and building with new Web3 communities to help us further our mission… which brings us to Lens. We’re excited to build more ways for the video creators in the Lens community to create amazing videos with Glass.
Oh—and one more thing. We just announced The Glass Pass, an NFT that represents your creator identity, and your key to owning and creating videos on Glass. You can read more about it here: https://blog.glass.xyz
And to show our love to the Lens community...
🏆 **Anyone who collects this post will be recorded on The Glass Pass claim allowlist** 🏆
And if you vibe with our mission, check out our Manifesto: https://glass.xyz/manifesto
People who **sign it and** **share it to Lens** will also get early access to claim The Glass Pass.
We’re excited to be here and can’t wait to share what we have in store! We're just getting started✌️

Additional on-chain enhancements include connecting your NFTs to unlock verified profile pics and gated topics to post into as well as improving your reputation with assets like soulbound tokens or POAPs.

- 50% of total Lens traffic in November
- Beta release has organically hit 150k installs and 30k+ DAU in 6 months
- Global, experienced team of 17 with HQ in Finland
We are a remote first company and are looking for a full-time React Native developer to join our growing international team. Majority of the team is based in Europe and we prefer hires located in similar time zones for ease of communication.
The role’s seniority can be tailored depending on your experience but sadly we don’t have yet the resources to guide beginners.
Job start Q1/2023.
## Phaver’s tech stack
Tech stack is based mainly on TypeScript and React. This has allowed all team members to contribute to each component.
- API layer uses Hasura GraphQL, PostgreSQL and Node.js
- Mobile app uses React Native, Apollo
- Static site uses Next.js
- Interacting with blockchain via Ethers and Lens smart contracts
- Recommendation engine (only Python-based service)
- Services deployed to Google Cloud Kubernetes engine
## React Native developer role
You would develop our React Native app, jointly or independently implementing new business-critical features that improve the experience for our users. Native iOS and Android development experience is a bonus but not required.
Tasks that you would be working on
- Displaying near infinite amounts of user-created content in a performant manner.
- Syncing internal and server-side state in an invisible manner.
- Work around the mobile device limitations with the designers.
## Contract
We are looking for a full-time team member and you will also be eligible for both stock option and token incentives.
Depending on your preference and location we can offer either a model where you’re paid in USD, Euros or stablecoins based on monthly billing, a localised employment contract through our partner Deel, or if based in Finland, employment by our local limited company.
## Applying
You can apply or ask more questions from marlowe@phaver.com. When applying, send a short description about how you would like to help us. LinkedIn profile and GitHub repository are preferred but a traditional CV is also fine.
