What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in the blockchain and digital business sectors.

I am an Investment Associate at Blockchain Founders Fund, where I leverage my extensive network within the Solana ecosystem to identify promising investment opportunities. My role involves conducting comprehensive research and developing investment theses, ensuring thorough due diligence on potential projects. Within just a month of joining, I quickly assumed leadership roles in project processes, demonstrating my adaptability and strategic insight in managing investment workflows.

Previously, I served as a Syndicate Manager at BOOGLE, where I spearheaded the vetting and evaluation of potential investment deals, ensuring only high-value opportunities were presented to the Syndicate Committee. My efforts contributed to assisting founders in raising over $2 million, showcasing my strong capabilities in facilitating investment rounds and engaging with investors. Additionally, my internship at DigiFT allowed me to develop a pricing structure for Lido Staked ETH and publish research articles on crypto trends, further solidifying my expertise in the digital business landscape.
