According to BlockBeats, on September 18, BlockBeats reporter reported on the scene that Joey Krug, partner of Founders Fund, attended the roundtable discussion on “Going Mainstream: Building Web3 Consumer Apps” on the first day of the TOKEN2049 main venue and said:
I think from a consumer perspective. First, if the product is already live, you can judge a product based on early traction. A lot of people tend to think success is instant, but Shayne Coplan (founder of Polymarket) started emailing me about prediction markets in 2016 or 2017, and we chatted a few times a year. Most people think we invested in Polymarket because of the election, but the election is actually not that important. Even after the election, Polymarket will still have continued repeatable traction.
