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 media app (think: crypto Hacker News or Reddit) where Ethereum builders curate news, essays, products, repos, and dashboards for other builders. We have about 1,500+ monthly readers and 100+ monthly curators.

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 in my blog named Kanfa .

I have written long reads about building crypto social apps, Music NFTs, bottom-up IP creation, Ethereum L2s, privacy, and many more. Some of them have become fairly popular, and got praise from top founders and VCs in the crypto industry.

4) I am a partner (emeritus) at ExplainVisually: a communications agency & animation studio 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.

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.
