Hello [Andrey Shirben](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashirben/) ✌️

In addition to his strong roots in the “traditional world” (investing in over 150 early-stage startups, helping entrepreneurs build billion $ companies, being the chairman of a publicly listed company and a founding partner of 3 VC funds, among other things), Andrey’s passion for alternative financial systems started back in 2013 when he took his first steps into the blockchain journey.

Since then he has been VERY busy – investing in an average of 10 projects a month, creating investment & trading strategies, founding Gravity Capital (blockchain and crypto fund), Follow\[the]Seed (an evergreen crypto investment company), he's an early investor in Efficient Frontier (one of the largest Market Makers in the crypto world), advising selected projects and much more.
