a recap of my background on avalanche, for the newcomers: - joined @AvascanExplorer in June 2020, prepping it for the launch as social media manager - didn't get in the ICO, arrived too late - streamed for over 5 hrs here while chain was launching on sep 21, 2020 - grew the avascan community to 1000 people in a few weeks, our validators 'snorlax' and 'ditto' were the most delegated to - spent 20% of my time in 2021 and 2022 between social, marketing and product trying to make avascan ready for then-subnets (now L1s) and outside avalanche. hired 10+ people in less than a year (we were 5 for the first year) - jan 2022 we closed our first avalanche subnet explorer deal for 1,000$/month - started marketing @routescan_io 1:1 to avalanche L1s and non-avalanche chains - locked 3 deals before launching routescan in seoul on sep 5, 2023 - 2023 mini bull brought us 5+ new customers in weeks, including @blast , @taikoxyz , @berachain , @Chiliz - nov 2023 we transitioned snowtrace dot io from etherscan to us mid-flight while also trying to break even - 2024 we grew exponentially with more deals and traction, I moved to growth strategy, doubled our head count - 2025 moved again to lobbying but I don't know what my role is - the beauty of startup life
