Exclusive Interview with FOMO Co-founder Seyoung: From Yale, dYdX to Benchmark Leading Investment, Analyzing Perceptual Cross-chain and Speculation Graphs
"fomo’s Se Yong Park: Building a user-friendly trading app" (The Archive podcast interview with Seyoung Park, co-founder of the crypto social trading platform FOMO), here are the key points summarized: 1. Founder Background and Product Origin: Eliminating the Frustration of Normies • Background: Born in South Korea, moved to New Zealand and New Jersey at age 4 with divorced immigrant parents. Early independence and sense of responsibility fostered a strong sense of "Agency". Later attended Yale University to study economics, worked at Deutsche Bank, then joined the early dYdX team to lead product development. • Origin Moment: At the end of 2023/beginning of 2024, during a booming market on the Solana chain, attempted to teach a childhood friend in New Jersey how to use Telegram trading bots (like Bonkbot) and the Phantom wallet at Panera Bread. Even offering $1,000 for the friend to try, the friend still found the process extremely cumbersome (RPC, Bridge, on-chain private keys, Gas fees, etc.). This moment made him realize that traditional Web3 tools could never bring hundreds of millions of ordinary people into the industry. • Inspiration from Joshua Tree and Barbell Strategy: While hiking with co-founders Paul and Pashan in Joshua Tree National Park, they decided to create a minimalist app that combines "social graph + perceptual cross-chain". The product focuses on two extreme user groups: one end being hardcore on-chain traders with absolute Alpha, and the other end being ordinary consumers who have never interacted with crypto assets, ignoring the middle layer entirely. 2. Extreme Product Refinement (Product-Led Growth) and Initial Restraint • First 6-8 months with zero marketing spend ($0 Growth Spend): • Refused to do any paid advertising, UGC promotion, or pay KOLs to post referral links (all KOLs with referral links acted spontaneously). • Believed that if the product had leaks (Leaky bucket), bringing in a large number of users would only destroy reputation; preferred to control growth pace and focus all energy on perfecting the cross-chain experience (seamless transitions between Solana, Base, BNB in 3-5 seconds), Apple Pay deposits, and Share Card functionality. • Zero PM system and dynamic customer service: • The entire company remains extremely lean (fewer than 10 people), with no product managers (PMs); every employee, even growth leads and designers, possesses strong Product Sense, capable of writing code and pushing to production. • Founder Seyoung personally replies to over 300 user service and feedback messages daily, significantly improving the efficiency of identifying trading anomalies with AI assistance. 3. The Story Behind Benchmark's Series A Investment • Unfamiliarity and Missed Zoom Link: After rejecting institutions in the angel round and raising funds from 140 individual operators, they established contact with Benchmark's Chathan for the Series A round through introductions. Due to an incorrect Zoom link, both parties thought the other had ghosted, and they connected 15 minutes late. • Extremely Rigorous Due Diligence: Benchmark had not invested in the crypto social and trading space for about 5 years. After the initial conversation, the entire partner team at Benchmark conducted intensive interviews with top experts from Coinbase, Robinhood, and the Ethereum community within days, quickly establishing strong confidence in the multi-chain social trading future, leading Chathan to fly to New York's JFK airport to finalize the investment during lunch. 4. Endgame Vision: From "Interest Graph" to "Speculation Graph" • Three Generations of Social Media Evolution: • First Generation (early Web1/2, like early Facebook): Focused on "relationships", where Who is prioritized over What (following acquaintances' updates). • Second Generation (algorithm recommendation era, like TikTok, Instagram Reels): Focused on "interests", where What is prioritized over Who (algorithmically pushing content of interest, even if you don't know the creator). • Third Generation (next-gen social after AI proliferation): AI will commoditize text, image, and video content in an extremely short time (10 seconds to generate seamless movies/music with AI). As content loses scarcity, "creating good content" will no longer signify absolute status; only real risk-taking (Risk) and accurate predictions (Speculation / P&L) will be the verifiable evidence that AI cannot commoditize. • Transformation of S-level Celebrities: The future top internet S-level celebrities/influencers (like the future MrBeast) may no longer gain followers by posting YouTube videos for 10 years, but rather by continuously making correct predictions across public chains, prediction markets, sports betting, etc., accumulating massive P&L, with their credibility and "Aura" directly translating into ultimate social capital. 5. The Essence of Meme Coins and Industry Reconstruction • Meme coins are expressions of memetics: Most tokens (and even some fluctuations in traditional US stocks) are essentially mimetic expressions. In the future, meme coins or prediction markets may become the "universal language" for ordinary people to bet on cultural trends, AI evolution, or individual creators. • Industry Pain Points Needing Resolution: Canonical Token Issue: Current meme coin issuances are rife with insider sniping, high fees, and endless opening of similarly named tokens, severely harming the experience of ordinary users. The industry urgently needs a transparent, frictionless, and even AI-generated standardized issuance and rights confirmation system.
