Omar Waseem — Co-Founder
I made my first internet dollar when I was 12 by editing videos for YouTubers. In 2021, I became the CMO of Fei Protocol, an algorithmic stablecoin protocol. The company raised a $20M Series A from a16z and went through one of the largest DAO mergers of all time. In 2022, I started as the first growth hire at Founders, Inc. and our venture studio. In the last 2 years, we've incubated a handful of seed/Series A startups, and invested in nearly 100 founders. In 2024, I announced Alif — the first startup incubator for Muslim founders. I angel invest/advise startups on growth and GTM — I'm active on Twitter, drop me a note @omarwasm.
