Founder · Strategist · Cultural connector
YD
Builder, strategist and cultural connector.
Nine years across crypto, product, business development, communities and events. Founder of Y-DAO and PotBot. Creator of 811.
Founder story
Built across different worlds.
My work has always sat between technology and people: understanding a product, finding the right room and turning relationships into movement.
Crypto gave that instinct a global canvas. I have worked across wallets, communities, product strategy, fundraising, partnerships and events - from practical infrastructure to cultural experiences.
Y-DAO connects those disciplines. PotBot is the product. 811 is the culture. The network around them is where ideas, capital and people begin to compound.
