Blake Lezenski: Investing & Accelerating Web3 in Luxury
Listen now
Description
Want to understand why luxury and e-commerce retailers are investing into Web3? In this episode, we sit down with Blake Lezenski from Outlier Ventures, the largest Web3 accelerator in the world, to discuss the concept of how digital scarcity authorizes the creation of digital luxury, luxury brands’ emphasis on targeting digital natives, and how to properly utilize Web3’s elements to immerse customers into the digital world. Blake shares what they're looking for when choosing startups to invest in and participate in Outlier Ventures & Farfetch’s Dream Assembly Base Camp accelerator program. We learn about what drove them to pick only 3% of applicants for Cohort 2, the future of digital communities, the boundaries between Web2 and Web3, and the intertwining of the digital and physical worlds.
