But before we even get into it, how did you get involved in all things crypto?

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

As I know you have a long experience in sort of startups as well.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And were you a VC before or did you work at a VC?

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
