Seymour asked Paxhia about funding or legal dynamics she feels good about and what she woiuld change. 

Paxhia, with years of experience under her belt, didn’t hold back, "(...) At Poseidon, we’ve been investing in business fundamentals since the beginning. There has been a ton of capital that flew into this industry. Early days of hype-driven capital... it was wasted. It was not well allocated. I’m sorry, but it wasn’t. And it built things that were not really sustainable."

She highlighted lessons the industry can take from such oversights. "The only thing we can do as an industry is learn from that. We can only learn," she said.
