AMA
Official ask-me-anything conversations with notable guests

I’m Justin Kan, former co-founder of Twitch, co-founder of Fractal, and now co-founder of Rye! AMA!

I cofounded and recently launched - an eCommerce API that lets developers add new revenue streams for their products by adding eCommerce and checkout into any app or website. Ask me anything about Rye, entrepreneurship, eCommerce, and crypto. I'll be answering questions on Friday, the 14th of October!

What are some of the most exciting use cases/builds you envision Rye makes possible?
any sort of new e-commerce modality: allow people to spin up new marketplaces in minutes, create their own creator link stores, make a twitch extension that allows creators to sell live, etc.
How should one manage to meet up vesting schedules for multiple early startups running concurrently?
Any advice for non-tech founder(s) whose techie(s) have all left a product without any prior stakeholders agreement. Should the non-tech cofounder(s) go ahead to develop the product with other techies who believe in the market opportunities for the product? What if the products gets significant traction, becomes highly profitable and tech founder(s) suddenly wants some shares in the company for building the prototype before the time they left the company?
You should sort out them releasing any ownership claims before you invest further in the product.
Hey Justin! Thanks for taking the time to do this AMA. My question is kind of basic but where did the idea for Rye come from?
I wanted to create a marketplace in crypto and e-commerce is the biggest and made the most sense
If you had to start from scratch (zero) in 2022 - what would be your venture and why?
something in crypto
What do you think about the Metaverse ? Is it as safe as engineers and investors say ?
the metaverse is as safe as anything else online... I think the metaverse is already here: it's the games people are spending hours and hours on, it's twitter, it's discord. People are already living their lives online. The trend will continue.

they don't recognize barriers to forward progress.
Do you think the 24/7/365 broadcast will become popular? With edalt content, opportunities to meet in real life, etc. As I recall, that's where you started.
no one wants 24/7 broadcasts. People are only interesting for a few minutes a day. This is why Instagram Stories >> Justin.tv.
Hey Justin, My friend tried reaching out to Y and heard “crickets” , what are the best avenues for reaching out to Y? He invents the future at Google. , is my friend’s new thing and it will make the web a safer place for kids.
just apply to YC. The beauty is you don't need to have any connection there.
Hey Justin, big fan of your Youtube channel - you bring a human touch to VC :) Wondering if you invest in international crypto(web3) startups. We're building an NFT mint aggregator called degenmint. Launched 4 months ago, we have 9% of Ethereum NFT traders using us daily (ranked 6th in Ethereum dApps for transacting NFTs). Would love to get a chance to share what we're building with you :)
