A little bit about me
After reading the bitcoin white paper in 2014 I promptly quit my comfortable position at a fintech payments startup to build a bitcoin investment platform, that was a harsh lesson in startup timing. The next 6 years were spent in a variety of startups finally circling back to spending the last two years building a venture backed asset management protocol on Solana. I am more bullish than ever that we are entering the golden age of blockchains and web3.
