[How to convince investors](http://paulgraham.com/convince.html)

Formidable Founders Promising Market Evidence of success so far Formidable The most important ingredient is formidable founders. Most investors decide in the first few minutes whether you seem like a winner or a loser. Most investors are genuinely unclear in their own minds why they like or dislike startups. If you seem like a winner, they'll like your idea more. But don't be too smug about this weakness of theirs, because you have it too; almost everyone does. They're fuel for the fire that starts with liking the founders. Once investors like you, you'll see them reaching for ideas: they'll be saying "yes, and you could also do x." (Whereas when they don't like you, they'll be saying "but what about y?")

Chainlink [Whitepaper](https://research.chain.link/whitepaper-v1.pdf)

TLDR from my point of view. Architecture On-Chain Architecture ChainLink nodes return replies to data requests or queries made by or on behalf of a user contract. ChainLink has an on-chain component consisting of three main contracts: a reputation contract, an order-matching contract, and an aggregating contract. The reputation contract keeps track of oracle-service-provider performance metrics.

The Graph Protocol

Full-Stack Decentralization The Graph protocol is shifting from a paradigm of businesses paying for the ongoing storage, compute, and other services required to keep an application running, toward users directly paying networks of decentralized service providers for granular usage of these resources. Today, most “decentralized” applications only adopt such a model in the bottom layer of the stack—the blockchain—where users pay for transactions that modify application state. The rest of the stack continues to be operated by centralized businesses and is subject to arbitrary failures and rent seeking. - Interesting comment from The Graph :smile: What is The Graph Network Developers can run a Graph Node on their own infrastructure, or they can build on our hosted service. In The Graph Network, any Indexer will be able to stake Graph Tokens (GRT) to participate in the network and earn rewards for indexing subgraphs and fees for serving queries on those subgraphs. Consumers will be able to query this diverse set of Indexers by paying for their metered usage, proving a model where the laws of supply and demand sustain the services provided by the protocol.
