I’ve spent my career creating innovative new businesses (sometimes even new industries), as well as advising and investing. Since 2013, I’ve been primarily focused on bitcoin and crypto (with a more recent focus on decentralized AI). Somewhere along the way, CNBC called me “the Godfather of Crypto” and it seems to have stuck.
Currently, I run Transform Ventures, a blockchain and AI advisory and venture studio. I also created and manage Transform Group, the pioneering blockchain and Web3 PR agency (400+ clients since 2013, including launches of Ethereum and Tether). I also created CoinAgenda (now rebranded as Tokenize), the leading conference series connecting mainstream investors with blockchain and cryptocurrency investments, and BitAngels, the first crypto angel group, which I started in early 2013 with industry legend David Johnston, later co-founding the Dapps Fund in early 2014, one of the first crypto VCs.
I live in Puerto Rico, where I started the crypto migration to the island when I received the first investor decree from the crypto industry in early 2016.
