Top crypto VCs: The battle for funding a future with unstoppable exchanges

  • Draper University 44 East 3rd Avenue San Mateo, CA 94401 United States (map)

Prominent crypto investors converge to discuss how to unburdening Bitcoin trading from the difficulties of exchange & custodial risk/regulatory risk, and how VCs see the opportunities and pitfalls along the way toward a world of trust-minimized ownership and unstoppable trading infrastructure. George Burke is back to host our panelists of thought-leader crypto investors:

Avichal Garg (Electric Capital managing partner, Y Combinator advisor)
Will O'Brien (Ex-BitGo CEO, Blockchain Capital advisor, angel investor)
Tim Draper (the one and only)

And a presentation by Portal CEO Dr. Chandra Duggirala and Eric Martindale (ex-Blockstream engineer strategist, Lemniscap Fund advisor) together unveil the future of sustainable, censorship-resistant crypto trading with the first zero-knowledge cross-chain atomic swaps, built into a wallet that can privately participate in Portal's decentralized liquidity pool.
