Mined with CoinFund
There’s so much noise across the echo chamber of crypto culture. What’s something people aren’t talking enough about?
Mined with CoinFund is a weekly show that explores the unearthed narratives within the crypto space. As a team of early stage investors and operators, our business is built on idea-spotting: catching a glimmer of one intriguing idea that could become a market-shaping opportunity.
Mining is a cryptographic process, but in the physical world, it is digging through boulders to find gems. We aim to uncover unpopular truths and unspoken perspectives that deserve to be debated.

Pudgy Penguins’ Physical and Digital Approach to Web3 IP
In 2021, hundreds of creators launched NFT collections, with plans to build robust brands around digitally-native IP.
Today, only a handful of projects have been able to do so, and one colony of penguins has taken the lead in bringing unique IP to consumers on and offchain.
Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, joins CoinFund's Head of Venture Investments David Pakman on Mined with CoinFund to discuss web3 IP distribution, building a digital and physical web3 brand, and how consumer crypto has reached a critical moment that will determine its success or failure. They cover:
- Pudgy’s origin story (3:03)
- Building between the physical and digital (12:18)
- Branding & co-owning novel IP (19:34)
- Consumer crypto: memecoins vs. NFTs (30:33)
