Our mission aligns perfectly with my expertise in Bitcoin custody solutions and investment strategies, enabling us to serve high-net-worth individuals and institutions effectively. My approach is rooted in bringing diverse perspectives to foster a culture of excellence and forward-thinking within our organization. At Onramp, I've spearheaded initiatives that marry traditional financial experience with the agility of a Bitcoin financial service company, securing our position as a trusted platform for asset management. My role at Early Riders enhances this, leveraging my skills in scaling technology companies and investment management to support groundbreaking companies at the intersection of bitcoin, AI, and open-source technology. The synergy between these roles underscores our commitment to shaping the future of finance.

4 roles

VP of Growth

Apr 2022 – Apr 2023 · 1 yr

Unchained Capital is a bitcoin-native financial services company. Unchained is building the archetype of the future financial institution, form fit for the world of bitcoin. Today, most individuals and businesses that hold bitcoin end up at two extremes, either choosing to independently self-custody or relying on a trusted third party as a full custodian.
Collaborative custody allows clients to hold their own private keys, while Unchained participates in the security of Bitcoin by managing a single key in a 2-of-3 multisig quorum. By eliminating many of the drawbacks of both self custody and third-party custody, Unchained delivers what it believes is the most secure foundation off of which to build all other financial services.
We offer collaborative custody, trading desk, bitcoin-backed loans, and bitcoin retirement accounts. Not your keys, not your bitcoin.
