💡 Lessons from Alchemy PMs

Source: Web3PMs - Alchemy Product Panel (Youtube)

TLDR:

Alchemy core thesis:

  • building on low-level computers (CPU, RAM, ...) is difficult, so developers build on an OS
  • building on core internet protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, ...) is difficult, so developers build on AWS +
  • building on bare-bone blockchains (nodes, RPC, ...) is difficult, so developers build on Alchemy

Insight on "community":

  • Our secret sauce is how close we are to our customers, we have 100s of direct telegram channels with builder teams using our APIs. (23:49)

  • We can literally not keep up with the rate of change in the space by doing research in a corner by ourselves, so by tapping in to the greatest resource in the ecosystem, which is the people who are building, we can learn much more quickly what will be effective.

  • We treat every interaction as an opportunity for product interaction

Insights on mindset: Hustling, growth, humbleness, agile

  • I feel dumb on a daily basis

  • we need to admit we are wrong very often, so we stay humble about our product roadmap

  • new grads are much better suited to unlearn and have that plasticity
