About Raphaela S.
I\'m an operator with a bias towards action who values high EQ, accountability and having fun. I work with technical teams to bring products to market in a way that resonates with end users.I took a break from crypto in 2020 to found Homestay, a venture backed senior care startup. It failed, here’s why: https://medium.com/@SaffiRapire/i-trying-something-new-in-senior-care-ad6bc5c997e5 I spent the previous two years at Livepeer building a live video protocol. Using blockchain technology we were able to reduce the price of encoding by 10x. I built out the finance, people, community, marketing, and developer evangelism functions, hiring and scaling the team from 4 to 16. Prior to this, I was an early stage investor at a vc firm based in NYC. As a generalist, I learned how to go deep on many industries ranging from CPG to homecare coordination software to blockchain to biotechnology. I am excited to share ideas and sooner than later, make one a reality. I care most about the people I get to work with because for me, creating jobs is the end, not the means.
