Hey, my name is Mac Budkowski, and this is what I do:

1) I'm a co-founder of Kiwi News.

It's a social app (think: Hacker News or Reddit) where Ethereum builders curate news, essays, products, repos, and dashboards for other builders. We have 1,500+ monthly readers and 100+ monthly curators. I've doing marketing, BD, operations, community building and some product work.

2) I used to run a popular builders-oriented podcast called Web3 Talks.

Our 1,500+ subscribers could learn how founders from projects such as Farcaster, WalletConnect, Zora, Gnosis, and Privy built their projects. Now, since I'm working on Kiwi full-time, I don't have any more time to record new episodes, so after 48 episodes the podcast is on hold.

3) I write essays about crypto and other subjects on my blog named Kanfa.

I have written about building crypto social apps, Music NFTs, bottom-up IP creation, Ethereum L2s, privacy, and many more. Some of these posts, like the one about onboarding next billion users to Ethereum, got praise from top figures in the industry.

4) I am a partner (emeritus) at ExplainVisually: a communications agency specializing in tech, pharma, and B2B.

We have worked with 100+ startups & 30+ big corps such as Intel, IKEA, Pfizer, PepsiCo, and MasterCard to run their internal and external communications. We also created hundreds of explainer videos to make complex things easy to understand.

5) I advise startups building on Ethereum.

I’ve been working with $X-XXXM startups, from decentralized IP platforms, through NFT marketplaces up to DeFi oracles. I helped with storytelling, GTM strategy, BD, and product design. Also shared some lessons on how to communicate crypto products and how to build a community.

How can we stay in touch:

You can find me on Twitter, Farcaster, or write me an oldschool e-mail to mac at macbudkowski dot com.
