Trevor Koverko Email & Phone Number

I love investing in, co founding companies with, and hanging out with other founders (especially in Web3).There is nothing harder/lonelier than being a founder and I am energized by others going through same journey.I started out as a pro athlete getting drafted by the NHL's New York Rangers in 2005. A few years later, my career officially ended after a car accident. I was hit by a fully-loaded transport truck, sent to the ICU and diagnosed with a 'catastrophic' brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale of under 9, I was a 7) that left me with a permanent disability.But I decided to keep on trucking and started to recover well.With Hockey now over I knew I needed a new purpose in life and at the perfect time I discovered entrepreneurship (while watching a YC video on Youtube while still in the hospital)My first start up, eProf.com, failed. My 2nd was an unnamed VR project that I founded after trying on the Oculus Rift DK1 in 2014. The product was VR renderings of pre construction condos. We eventually helped sell a penthouse despite the product being suboptimal. After 11 months, I accepted an offer to sell to a Canadian private equity fund as a 'tuck in' acquisition for one of their portfolio companies. I spent the next 12 years building start ups with a focus on Web 3.I bought my first Bitcoin in 2012 and being from Toronto I was lucky to have a front row seat to the building of Ethereum. I also helped advise on the first public blockchain company: Hive.In 2017, I co founded Polymath, one of the first security token projects in Web3. Polymath is now venture backed (75mm total raised), 8 figs revenue, peak token market cap $1bn/top 40 token. I am proud of Polymath and what our community continues to build - especially our new layer-one RWA blockchain: Polymesh that is one of the best performing networks of 2024.Since hiring a CEO at Polymath I've cofounded and incubated Tokens.com (30mm raised, public offering in 2021) Most recently I co founded Sapien: a data marketplace that helps long tail AI models close the performance gap with big tech via a mobile data labeling game.I also like to angel invest mostly in my friends (Ethereum ICO, BlockOne, Hive, Eigen Layer, Alongside, Ritual, EtherFi, SEI +60 and LP in funds like Polychain + 7)When not in Asana or ruthlessly 'following up' old school style (email), I train BJJ and am a proud sponsor of causes close to me like The Africa Inland Mission, Brynn Children Home and mentor other brian injury survivors.

Listed skills include Start Ups, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Product Management, and 24 others.
