I am Azeem Khan, a serial entrepreneur and a leading figure in the cryptocurrency and decentralized finance space.

I'm now the Cofounder and COO at Morph, a Layer2 scaling solution for Ethereum.As the former Head of Impact at Gitcoin, a prominent Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), I played a key role in distributing part of the $60 million in grants, contributing to a substantial global financial impact. My work in pioneering quadratic funding has influenced major organizations like UNICEF, the American Cancer Society, and Shell Oil, enhancing funding mechanisms in the realm of web3.In my entrepreneurial journey, I have founded and nurtured various startups and continue to share my expertise as a consultant to UNICEF's Crypto Crypto Fund. Additionally, my role in various prestigious forums like the World Economic Forum's Crypto Sustainability Coalition and the Future of Global Fintech research initiative allows me to mentor emerging talents in the blockchain space, particularly at Hypernest and The ConsenSys Fellowship.My prior experiences include being a judge on Binance's metaverse reality TV show 'Build The Block' and contributing to thought leadership in publications like the Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, and Coindesk. My efforts at LDV Capital in NYC and collaborations with significant web3 entities like Coinbase, Zora, and Nouns DAO have been instrumental in advancing decentralized finance.Educationally, I hold a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Medical Sciences from Boston University, where I also conducted research at Harvard Medical School's Church Lab. Recognized as one of Inc Magazine's '35 under 35', I am a testament to the fusion of academia and industry, striving to make a meaningful impact in the world of blockchain and beyond.

    Kim Coindashian Jan 2014 - Feb 2014
    When you understand the blockchain and grasp the enormous potential that it possesses, an obvious opportunity presents itself. Marrying top brands in the entertainment industry with this powerful new technology is somewhat similar to owning a domain name in the early days of the internet. When the web was just taking off, domain names presented entertainers with the ability to harness the information flow surrounding their brand. Digital currency will prove to trump the value of the internet for brands as the protocol offers a completely new way to monetize their time in the spotlight. This is what birthed the idea of the alt-coin, Kim Coindashian.The success of the company was short lived as we received a cease and desist letter that forced us to shut down before we wanted to for fear of legal repercussions.

    BU EMS is a service offered by Boston University for the fitness and recreation center, athletic events, concerts and any other events held by the university. My duty was to be an on hand emergency medical technician in the event of any unforeseen unfortunate events. The roles and responsibilities were no different than that of any EMT. Also, I was an instructor for teaching the lab portion of classes which entailed going over different scenarios as well as teaching the practical techniques to students (CPR, splinting and spinal immobilization skills, patient assessment, vital signs, trauma management, medical management and airway management). I learned to be more comfortable in a clinical setting, and as opposed to observing, I was also able to put the skills and knowledge I had amassed into practice. With each new patient I was able to further solidify what I had been taught. Laboratory instruction was good because I was able to continuously brush up on skills that can be easy to forget, and learned to be more comfortable in a setting where the focus of attention was myself.
