I’m committing myself 100 % to working with blockchain tech and businesses. I started my university studies by pursuing an engineering program in biotech and bioinformatics, but I’ve always found business really interesting and ended up graduating in business economics as well. I have been involved in the crypto space in different forms since 2014, initially as a small time miner but later more involved in different projects. It was after the DAO that I started to think about the crowdfunding process, how it compares to “normal” startup funding and how to evolve this into something that takes the best from both traditional venture capital and the possibilities of the new crowdsale opportunities.
