​How to Get a Golden PDF with Ric Burton

​Silicon Valley is a video game. Your goal is to get a Golden PDF. The stock option agreement, the SAFE, the founding shares, the advisor agreement. The document that one day results in a lawyer wiring you millions of dollars.

​Ric Burton has been playing this game in San Francisco for 20 years. He helped design early concepts for Ethereum. He worked at Stripe. He co-founded Balance.io, shipped the WalletConnect standard, and backed projects like Uniswap and The Graph before DeFi had a name. Today he's designing interfaces for robots, satellites, and voice AI, and still searching for magical founders to help.

​In this session, Ric is going to break down exactly how the game works: how to move your mind, body, energy, and money to Silicon Valley. How to pick the right wave. How to become useful when you have no money. How to turn your time here into equity that actually compounds. Whether you just landed in SF or you've been here for years and haven't found your angle yet, this one's for you.
