With a degree in economics from Stanford and six-plus years in crypto, I pride myself on providing my audience with sophisticated and unbiased information on the web3 revolution. I have over 100,000 TikTok followers and a medium / substack blog with over 2000 regular readers. I also have a new podcast interviewing key figures in the IoTeX ecosystem.

Future \ Perfect was among the first early-stage venture funds to recognize the key role blockchain / DLT could play in the tech economy of the future. FPV committed a significant portion of their 2014-raise portfolio to the sector.

I joined IoTeX as their first dedicated marketing hire and built their content pipeline that included video, blogs, and attestation. I spoke at conferences on behalf of the founding team including a well-received talk at the prestigious Stanford Blockchain Conference. I grew their tiktok channel to 7000+ followers, and helped develop their go-to-market strategy and final product features for UCam, an award-winning blockchain-secured camera. In 2022, I launched "The IoTeX Ecosystem podcast" where I interview key leaders in the ecosystem.

G2H2 was a first-mover fund investing in promising ICOs. Top investments include Playkey, 0chain, 0x, HANDL (which pivoted to a successful AI company) and Bloom. G2H2’s data-driven approach centered around identifying the digital assets that have key characteristics including scarcity, technically avant-garde consensus protocols, and clear governance structures. ICOs (initial coin offerings) with these characteristics have historically experienced rapid value appreciation, with many securing exponential returns for investors. G2H2 capital is no longer making investments as of 2018.

Formerly full-time, then part-time role. My work entailed joining early stage projects as a first five employee and diving into every stage of the process that goes into successfully bringing a decentralized application to market. I focused most of my efforts on designing crypto-economic models. I also advised on token model frameworks and game theoretical models, as well as intensive quantitative modeling in Python and R.

Responsibilities included company prospecting, startup evaluation, technical diligence, preparing investor and fund-related documents, and participating in pitch meetings. I was given a great degree of autonomy in my role and was working directly with the general partner, an experience where I learned the intricacies involved in the successful operation of a small venture fund.
