Jake Brukhman is Founder of CoinFund which has been investing in blockchain since 2016. Through his unique experience in computer science, quantitative trading and product management at places like Amazon, he and his team have developed an approach to Web 3 called ‘Network Lifecycle Investing’, where they work with startups in both an early stage venture capacity but also helping bootstrap networks as they mature.
He talks about ‘dogfooding’ Web 3 tech like DAOs, as the 3rd member of Moloch DAO, and actively participating in staking or mining in networks like Live Peer. As a visual artist and creative himself we go deep into his passion and investment thesis in Digital Art and NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens).

Toby Simpson is co-founder and COO of Fetch.ai, an open decentralised machine learning network. We talk about his three decades of work in agent based systems: creating MMORGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games) in the 90’s, to biologically inspired systems as Head of Software Design at DeepMind, which went on to be acquired by Google.
We look at how these experiences led him to create the world’s first blockchain-based decentralised AI, and its use cases, from DeFi to removing inefficiencies in complex mobility systems.

Wednesday Aug 12, 2020
Wednesday Aug 12, 2020
Rune founded ‘the central bank of DeFi’, powering the latest crypto cycle (with over $1 billion of collateral), but he has also created the world's most successful DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) to coordinate a borderless decentralised credit market that is aggressively adding collateral, beyond crypto, towards real world securitised assets like commodities, central bank digital currencies and real estate. We talk through his unique founder experience of leading MakerDAO from its emergence in chat rooms in early 2014 to becoming a professional organisation engaging with regulators, and now its eventual dissolution into the community.
