I am Luke Estes, a Communications major graduate from Pepperdine University. I have a broad expertise in the areas of fintech, sales, and blockchain. I have leveraged these skills specifically through my company, Off the Chain Capital, and I would like to hone these skills further in a new venture. I want to take my passions/expertise and move forward out of college back into the AI space, helping create progressions within industry. My background in business includes being the founding member of Off the Chain Capital and creating wealth for my clients. My main passion within this company was educating about the space. I successfully founded and grew the assets in my company from $450,000 to $12 million, then to a successful exit. I was able to create a sales pipeline from around 400 accredited investors to 15+ client relationships. This experience sent me to become a consultant for a variety of companies including Republic with whom I spent a summer in NYC. Here I facilitated in creating a platform for high-tech startups to raise multi-million dollar seed rounds including Relativity Space, Robinhood and Polygon. Throughout this period I learned many skills in consulting, money management, investing, due diligence, research, and business ethics. This led me to manage the social media and marketing for 2 companies and a foundation where I successful grew engagements by upwards of 3000%. With a degree from Pepperdine in Communications and knowledge from all my previous endeavors, I want to help advance the AI industry.Other accolades and passions include:15-time gold medal winner in rowing with Saint Louis Rowing Club.
