7
00:00:28,808 --> 00:00:32,000
their CEOs.
Builders gotta build and build

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
better.
That was our rallying cry.

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,700
When humid GE and I open up
applications for the techstars

10
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,200
web, three 2023 cohort about six
months ago.

11
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,400
Wow.
Did we find a great bunch of

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Builders each?
One of these 12 founding teams

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
and body web, 3 in their own
way, whether they're building

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,800
web three companies communities,
our economies, we ended up with

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,700
a good balance of each.
We found these founding teams

16
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:55,900
all over the world from Taiwan
to the west coast of the US and

17
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,500
the building web, three
infrastructure, defy mullets,

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,900
Dow tooling and Ecosystems after
months of preparation interviews

19
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:05,400
data crunching and due
diligence.

20
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,200
We finally kicked off the
techstars web three accelerator

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,300

00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:13,700
Although the rest of the program
is mostly virtual we'll meet up

23
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,800
for a week in London in May and
also in Toronto and New York to

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,500
end the program.
In June our decision to go find

25
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:22,200
12 grade founding teams building
in the midst of crypto, winter

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,300
is been totally validated.
So here's the techstars web 3

27
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:29,100
class of 2023.
All right here on money, never

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,600
sleeps.
Like I said, congrats, you're

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000
now part of techstars.
We picked you all from five

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
countries in 20 cities around
the world you're in.

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,000
And I know we said this to all
of you when we did our final

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
call together in the last few
weeks, but thank you again.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,700
It's been wonderful engaging
with all of you so far and just

34
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:55,000
looking forward to even more of
that.

35
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:57,300
Okay?
So why are you here?

36
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:02,200
We picked you because you all
Have what it takes to be a great

00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:08,699
saying on calls with all of you.
We really like you as Founders,

39
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:10,500
right?
And that's a critical First

40
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:13,300
Step, our selection criteria is
team team.

41
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,500
Team Market traction idea or
product.

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,700
So about you, right?
We're going to shift it over to

43
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,800
all of you and that this is a
two-way street want to hear from

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,700
all of you today.
We're going to start with trust

45
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:34,900
where the secure recoverable
non-custodial crypto Vault that

46
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,600
connects users in a social
network for sharing value, Jesse

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,300
Phillips.
And Jonathan Fraser are the

48
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:45,100
co-founders, and here's Jesse.
So, glad to meet everyone.

49
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:49,000
My name is Jesse co-founder.
CEO of trust where we are kind

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,700
of a mix in a hybrid between
venmo.

51
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,900
And really, really secure bank.
Vault on the other side, I'd so

52
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:57,500
that kind of comes together as a
secure social wallet.

53
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:00,100
The general idea is we're trying
to build a social network for

54
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:02,300
Value.
Make it really easy for people

55
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,300
to kind of use their crypto as
well as secure it on the back

56
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:08,000
end.
My background is primarily in

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
crypto but very different kind
of side of it.

58
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,200
If you've ever done transaction
on bitcoin or aetherium

59
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,000
blockchains, there's a pretty
high chance that one of my

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,800
clients or one of the things
that we stood up is kind of the

61
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:21,600
hardware infrastructure layer
for that.

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,000
I worked in mining for many
years and then Some of the

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200
really big exchanges as well.
I ain't got really bored of the

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,700
centralized space kind of at the
same time.

65
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,200
There was something that I saw
that happened to everyone that I

66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000
knew in the space if they had
their heads, kind of above the

67
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,200
fence line, which was that they
either get attacked successfully

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,100
or tried to get attacked.
So security was really online

69
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:47,700
and this past summer, I met
Jonathan a Tribune adversity our

70
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,400
reunions.
It was a know, all alumni

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200
reunions there.
We got to talking and realize

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,100
that there's a lot of security
things that we could.

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,300
Do that came over from the web
to side that just simply weren't

74
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,500
in web three space.
So kind of ditch the centralized

75
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,700
exchange World.
A nice time that John Lennon and

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,500
the rest is kind of History.
Great, thank you, Jesse.

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,500
Next up is together crew.
Some web three communities, fall

78
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:16,100
apart Under Pressure others.
Come together stronger together

79
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,100

grow communities, by ensuring

80
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,600
members, and stakeholders create
together the cofounders of

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,800
together crew or Katarina bull
carbonell.

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
She's grown Gotti, and Daniel
ospina.

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,500
So, let's hand it over to
Katerina.

84
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Thanks for having us.
So for together.

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Cool, we are analyzing
communities measuring, what

86
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,400
really much as nearly.
That's kind of the quick about

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,800
it about me.
I'm an ex academic, I spend what

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,400
10 years in the Sciences
analyzing people and the

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,300
interaction between people at my
last job.

90
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,400
I really had enough of it, as
kind of no impact whatsoever,

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,700
nothing moves always, the same
thing.

92
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:00,100
So I moved to Spain between
covid, waves and then since then

93
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:04,700
just took the time to explore
what you do, join the Dow made

94
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:08,300
up of bosal.
And then what a year later, we

95
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:10,600
have to get a good.
So we're working together since

96
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,800
May last year and we also have
met each other yet.

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,300
Great.
Thank you, Katerina.

00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:21,700

We're not trying to replace
streaming services in any way,

115
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,600
but we do want to be a tool for
artists to connect with the fans

116
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,100
that care about them the most to
make sustainable Revenue to give

117
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,800
you a little bit of a background
about me previous to working at

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Sonic's.
I was the head of time in crave

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,100
strategy at Sony Music which is
just really fancy title for

120
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:28,700
working across the roster on
amplification of their music

121
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:30,000
with Talent outside of the
business.

122
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:31,900
I also used to be a talent
manager myself.

123
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:35,500
So, I used to work with UK
entertainment and influence the

124
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,400
talent.
And then previous to that, I

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,300
just work in fashion so I worked
at Harpers Bazaar for a while

126
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,100
and matches fashion.com.
In New York, cool.

127
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:47,000
All right.
Next up is save chain.

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,300
The borderless banking app, save
chain is a self custody, stable

129
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:52,800
coin, only wallet with a banking
interface with global,

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,900
underbanked with the option to
open and FDIC insured bank

131
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:59,500
account for non us residents in
short, it's metal, mask meets

132
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:02,400
revolute Igor, Kamel and mixer
and or co-founders.

133
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,900
And here's Igor.
Hey guys.

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,100
So save chain is the nail bang
with porn web Trails.

135
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,500
So, basically, we are on the
mission to build the bank, where

136
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:17,000
the people control their funds
and the even the people that is

137
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,800
not ever familiar with crypto.
So they can benefit from crypto

138
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,600
rails by CEO and product
director.

139
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:28,100
And I'm an intact for the last
11 years, I was head of

140
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,100
innovation, that was their Bank,
the biggest bang Baker from

141
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:35,300
Eastern Europe and the before
that I did Stanford MBA, Open

142
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:41,500
Mackenzie Citadel and I came to
create the in 2012, when I got

143
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:44,600
my husband coin, from what I
understand, I just want it was a

144
00:07:44,608 --> 00:07:47,600
just effort across this house
and it really the best to open

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
it for me.
I count on coinbase, I give me

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,700
like, a pro much on those.
It was supposed to be going.

147
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,500
I forgot about that.
And remember 2016, when they

148
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,400
activate their account, and I
sold it because the current,

149
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:04,000
like a thousand 2017.
So, so I and then 2017 I made

150
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,900
because you are So initial going
offering where a 70 pounds

151
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:11,000
neither or as a back
securitization product.

152
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Oh, so it was like a big roller
coaster for us.

153
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,500
So like basically, there is like
some bad things, some good

154
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,500
things, but there was like some
great companies up.

155
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:23,200
So that started like microwaves
as you guys, narcs gotta go.

156
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,500
It's basically my for my
Foundation that when you guys.

157
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:28,700
Yeah.
And then a bank extra water.

158
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:32,400

00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,300
And now on the quest which is
data infrastructure, enabling

164
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,900
organizations to leverage user
data in a privacy-preserving

165
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:59,400
manner to unlock powerful, user
experiences Department.

166
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,000
Predator is co-founder and CEO
and here she is.

167
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,900
Awesome.
Hey guys, super excited to be

168
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:08,700
here and meet you guys.
I'm Deborah.

169
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,900
Come on local partners of quest.
We're building the easiest way

170
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:15,500
to think about it is needed
infrastructure and you know I

171
00:09:15,508 --> 00:09:18,600
our backgrounds really have
shaped the product that we're

172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400
building today.
I come from a background of

173
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,300
building ml indeed
infrastructure at Nvidia.

174
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,100
And before that at visa and
Tesla for multiple years

175
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,900
researching and working in Ai
and working with large

176
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,400
customers, you know, like Ali
Baba, talk about Twitter helping

177
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,700
themselves bit about bottle
necks and really realizing so

178
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:41,700
many the limitations of building
in the data economy in web to

179
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:44,800
until it be.
I came across all of the amazing

180
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,500
advantages of being able to have
Network effects from day one.

181
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:52,100
Due to the nature of being able
to build a shared open data

182
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:54,300
layer in Rupp tree, we've been
building for roughly

183
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:56,800
organizations for the past two
years and right now, we're

184
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,500
focusing on decentralized social
gaming, metaverse.

185
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:02,700
That's been our current Focus
delivering quest for them.

186
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:04,600
I'm personally.
Yeah.

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,300
Super excited about wept
reforming the future data layer

188
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:12,900
and enabling a lot of new
businesses to come in and have

189
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,700
Network effects from day one.
And that's what brand new Bloom

190
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:16,700
with Quest.
Cool.

191
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,800
All right.
Next up is pretty Co who are

192
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,900
enabling web 3 chat on apps and
S for Enterprises that want to

193
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:27,300
migrate business and engage
customers at the web

194
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:30,100
three-level.
Here's produções founder how a

195
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:36,600
young I run, I'm Holly from
Taiwan, so I'm the co-founder of

196
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,000
the company and so there are
three ways to understand what we

197
00:10:40,008 --> 00:10:41,800
are doing.
So first of all we are doing is

198
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,700
we are making web, three social
as a layer for every app, no

199
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,000
matter their web to apps, or
they are what their apps.

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,500
And what we want to do is we
want to make a universal church

201
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:54,900
interface across every
application and connect everyone

202
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:57,400
anytime.
So in the third way to

203
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,600
understand what we're doing is
just search web, search it on

204
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,900
Google and you will see we are
on the top of the The solution.

205
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:07,400
So me personally I've been
working in the chatting space

206
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,500
since 2014.
So before I had built lots of

207
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:14,500
chatting service and we pivot
into this since last January.

208
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:19,700
So and me personally I have been
digging into kryptos days since

209
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:24,300
2009 or maybe 10.
So it's kind of a long way but I

210
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:28,400
just try to search every
Solutions and I decide to dig

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,600
down into this space since last
year.

212
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,800
So in personally I also I mean
Court in space in Taiwan.

213
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,000
So yeah that's basically how I'm
doing and what?

214
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
And I'm the I like coffee.
So yeah.

215
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,900
So I also make I'm also a poster
in Taiwan.

216
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,200
Yeah that's it.
We didn't know that you were

217
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,700
also impressed at how we have.
I come in heaven.

218
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:55,000
Yeah it's a find some skill that
can be replaced by a I so yeah

219
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,500
very good.
Next we have pure cat who are

220
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:02,200
taking the pain out of web 34
users Developers.

221
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:05,600
And Brands by using deep data
science to provide unique

222
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,200
insights into digital
Collectibles.

223
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Greg Hannum been Marshall and I
Kiowa many are co-founders and

224
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,300
here's Greg.
Hey, guys.

225
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:17,100
Yes, I am.
My name is Greg cannom.

226
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,400
I'm the co-founder and CEO pick
at a data analytics, platform

227
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,700
focusing on all things.
Ñ FTS my background engineering.

228
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,700
I didn't Masters and through
that process decided it wasn't

229
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,200
for me.
So I went on to develop data

230
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,000
dashboards for some top 50 law
firms before transitioning into

231
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,500
product management across a
stools.

232
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,400
More recently, worked with a
number of vc-backed startups

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400
coming out of Oxford, uni in the
AI space building out their

234
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,700
product growth and Ops
functions.

235
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,200
And Was raised seven figures
worth of venture debt for an

236
00:12:47,208 --> 00:12:49,200
established.
It business to acquire smaller

237
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,700
competitors as a ma and less.
So than a few things.

238
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,300
Awesome, thanks.
Greg.

239
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Now onto a spree, which is
digital asset.

240
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,500
Compliance infrastructure for
centralized and decentralized

241
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:04,000
entities.
The co-founders are Javier,

242
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,800
tamashiro and Winston and you
cappella ninh and here's Javier

243
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,300
everyone.
Let's see here.

244
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:16,600
My name is Kiera.
I'm originally from Argentina,

245
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,300
but I've been doing in Asia for
probably, like 15 years.

246
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,700
I'm half Japanese but right now,
I'm taking this call from

247
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:26,300
Singapore.
Where the company was initially.

248
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,900
Founded essentially, what we do
is we provide compliance

249
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:34,300
solutions for crypto.
So we are very excited to be

250
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,800
here and see the profile of all
the companies because quality

251
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,700
compliance are very hot topic
right now.

252
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:44,200
And we think that we are really
like the enablers of the

253
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,500
English.
So we will working on this

254
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:50,700
project for about 24 months
myself.

255
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:53,900
And you can we are coming from
Banking and insurance companies

256
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,400
but we've been cooped up for
like kind of Ten Years by.

257
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,300
So we have these six trains
background that is between

258
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:05,700
traditional finance and crypto
and also a little bit technical.

259
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:09,700
We order the three of us the
touka and and my supplement here

260
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,900
in Singapore but we right now we
are all in different countries

261
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,800
so I'm in Singapore.
Well, dukkha is something

262
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,500
between France and Singapore,
myself the same and, and it's in

263
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,600
California right now.
Great, thanks, Javi.

264
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,000
A next up, we've got Alta for
Creative, coders directors.

265
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,100
And Studio teams who make
interactive art that audiences,

266
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,100
can explore and participate in
Ulta Bridges.

267
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,300
The essence of change and of
ownership to Art and story.

268
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,000
The co-founders are Terrence
Riley and George Baldwin and

269
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,300
here's Terrence.
Hello.

270
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400
And first of all, thanks for
having us again.

271
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,400
My background is an animation.
I'm like, 3D character animator

272
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:56,100
the not for like 20 years and
really enjoyed it.

273
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:58,400
I've been inspired by all my
family, through all, 10 and

274
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,500
business owners.
So what we're doing, what old

275
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:06,000
is, is its platform that enables
like people who make interactive

276
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,200
art and stories to read and
react to block doing events.

277
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:14,300
We're basically by two years in
to a project, and we're really

278
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,300
excited to get to the next stage
and make Dynamic.

279
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:21,900
Ours are concerned ever-changing
and exciting for people in the

280
00:15:21,908 --> 00:15:23,600
middle first.
Awesome.

281
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:24,400
Thank you.
Terrance.

282
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,300
Now we're on to minty code at
the centralized IP Marketplace

283
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,000
helping software creators, who
contribute to open source by

284
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,900
protecting their copyright and
opening up new monetization

285
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:41,000
strategies, the co-founders are
Tatiana but skeena And Andrew

286
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Morris, and here's Tatiana.
Hi, everyone.

287
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,800
I'm Tatiana.
I'm a CEO and co-founder of me

288
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,200
to court minutes ago.
It is decentralized, 30

289
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Marketplace for software
creators.

290
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,700
We believe that open source is
broken because of where creators

291
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:02,100
are not paid for their work and
will help support creators to

292
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:06,800
monetize their work.
By selling licenses about my

293
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,500
background, I was aware torn
software.

294
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,900
Our clock Change developer,
machine learning scientists.

295
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,300
I'm completing my PhD in
computer science, an Oxford, the

296
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:22,300
University of Oxford by I met
this my co-founder and real good

297
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:23,800
stuff.
Well, thank you.

298
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:27,400
Next up is low key code for
anyone.

299
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,300
Lacking the technical capacity
to build smart contracts.

300
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:33,500
Loki code provides a workspace
where users can create smart

301
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,600
contract safely and easily by
dragging dropping and

302
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,200
connecting, code blocks, and
using ready to deploy.

303
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,900
A smart contract, templates.
It's the co-founders are

304
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,700
Federico Pena.
See Fabio moans oniy?

305
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,600
Adam, tothe Malachy.
Lynn Nugent and Pedro Wilson.

306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,900
And here's Federico.
Hi, everyone.

307
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,800
And very happy to meet you all
virtually.

308
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Today, I am the under the RICO,
I'm Italian.

309
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:04,700
So for Internationals, let's
call me in the American way or

310
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,000
no, Anglo-Saxon waiters just
call me Fred, and that's fine.

311
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:10,500
And yeah, I'm the CEO of a
blocky.

312
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:15,099
And we are building is a
platform that is going to

313
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:18,400
simplify the way smart contracts
are created.

314
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:22,599
I'm a lawyer by training.
So I tend to deal with a lot of

315
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,200
complexity, but I also do like,
as I said, making things as

316
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,700
simple as possible.
Fantastic.

317
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:32,600
Thanks Fred.
And we'll finish up with a

318
00:17:32,608 --> 00:17:34,000
quick.
Hello from Jr.
