Not Boring was founded by Packy McCormick, who writes the newsletter covering technology, startups, and markets. The brand's stated mission is making the world more optimistic, and it operates both a paid publication called Not Boring World and an affiliated venture business, Not Boring Capital. In April 2021, Not Boring auctioned an essay as an NFT, an experiment designed to introduce its readership to web3 mechanics firsthand.
Not Boring has published research and commentary spanning NFTs, token economies, regenerative finance, decentralized identity, and real-world assets onchain. Not Boring Capital launched Fund I as an $8 million venture fund in July 2021, preceded by the Not Boring Syndicate. Thrive Capital served as anchor limited partner for Fund I, with additional LPs affiliated with firms including Bain Capital Ventures, a16z, Greenoaks, First Round, and DST, among others. A $30 million Fund II followed in January 2022, with a strategy spanning web2 and web3, and roughly one-third of its investments at that point directed toward web3 startups. Not Boring Capital then announced a $30 million Fund III in January 2023, again identifying web3 as a core investment category.
