20VC: How We Got Fred Wilson, Benchmark and Index to Invest $94M | Why Robinhood's Strategy is Wrong | Why 1-1s are BS and What Every Founder Gets Wrong About Equity | Why Taste Beats AI But How AI Kills Org Charts with Paul Erlanger, CEO @ fomo

Paul Erlanger argues FOMO is building a trading-first, socially driven platform for on-chain assets with global ambitions, using a flat 17-person team and unusually aggressive ownership incentives. He also lays out a contrarian view on Robinhood, creator-led growth, and AI’s role in compressing org charts while making elite engineers more valuable.
