I'm building Unknown — a creative venture studio that takes ideas from concept to reality. We launch brands and products across AI, entertainment, fashion, and culture. If it's never been done before, we're probably interested.
Before this, I co-founded HyperMint (acquired by MoonPay), where we built Web3 infrastructure for Nike, Alo Yoga, NBCUniversal, and others. I was also early at MoonPay and Dapper Labs during their rapid growth. These companies attracted backing from a16z, Coatue, Tiger Global, Thrive Capital, Sound Ventures, Liontree, K5 Global, Mantis VC, Night Media and cultural icons including Justin Bieber, Drake, Post Malone, The Weeknd and Maria Sharapova.
I've advised Late Checkout, an innovation studio where they build interesting things for Nike, Fanatics, Shopify, Dropbox, OpenSea and Fortnite.
I also run Open Worlds — started as a podcast, now turning into something bigger about how new tech is reshaping culture and entertainment.
