He has a deep operating background as a founder and operator at some of tech’s leading marketplaces.\r\n\r\nHe co-founded CityDeal, which was acquired by Groupon. He then built Groupon’s international offices in Europe and Asia.\r\n\r\nHe subsequently led BD at Airbnb globally and launched multiple offices organically and through M&A.\r\n\r\nAt GFC, he’s been an early investor in fintech titans Brex, Checkr, Deel, Slope, and more. He’s also invested in a number of crypto funds.\r\n \r\nWe had a fascinating conversation about the evolution of technology and venture capital. We also discuss how companies can think about integrating crypto – namely the likes of Airbnb and Brex – into their payments flow and how VC funds can approach investing into crypto funds and companies.\r\n\r\nThis was a fascinating conversation with a really thoughtful VC. Thanks Don for coming on the AGM podcast.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AFAZ1vkAT92lFJtqt-r0HeFQ55KTdcbJHmgKXaMlAtY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5MDA4LzE2MTQ1/Mzk1MDUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
