No wonder some of these Nostr-connected apps are starting to get really polished really fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of funding is great for Nostr adoption\u2014but I bet these companies are now under pressure to make a return for their investors. We\u2019re already seeing signs of monetization, like Primal subscriptions and their new studio package. It\u2019s all very interesting to watch unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve never invested in a startup myself, but I probably would if I truly believed in the idea. What about you\u2014would you invest, or just keep stacking sats? Startups are high risk, Bitcoin is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These investor firms have the fiat mentality. Their strategy is usually invest in 20 startups, and hope 1 turns into a unicorn. It&#8217;s about high-growth, high exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way. It helps Nostr grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/image\/hivemind-venture-capitalist.ERjW\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/images\/2025\/06\/27\/hivemind-venture-capitalist.webp\" alt=\"hivemind venture capitalist\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Note ID:\n    <br>\n    <code id=\"nostrNote\" style=\"word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;\">note1pyk5zva6rlhsm4mcctwhkvlz6kcekn4xvmesvrzz5q05ktfyy2ds4vjcud\n    <\/code>\n    <br>\n    <button onclick=\"copyToClipboard('nostrNote')\">Copy<\/button>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/btcpay.letsfo.com\/apps\/cyXxp1RKxQnN8bpQJjvwSEHjXbP\/pos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/images\/zapmar.png\"><\/a>Post#423\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Were you aware that Primal received $1 million dollars in funding from a venture capital firms Ten31 &amp; Hivemind?
