I’m the co-founder and CEO of OpenSea — the best place to discover, own, and trade on-chain.
I’m excited about open protocols, blockchain adoption, and the intersection of crypto and AI. Beyond OpenSea, I invest in companies pushing the boundaries of AI, creativity, and web3 — including Figma, Cognition Labs, and OpenRouter.
I’m a member of the Founders Pledge community, a global community of entrepreneurs finding and funding solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. I’m also excited about tools for data exploration and visualization in the classroom environment, and am a proud supporter of the CODAP project.
I previously worked on growth teams at Google, Flipboard, and Pinterest, where I first learned how to scale products that millions of people actually use. In 2013, I co-founded Claimdog with the belief that personal finance was too intimidating for most people. We were acquired by Credit Karma in 2016, and I led an integration team expanding Credit Karma’s mission of making financial progress more accessible to everyone.
I’m married to Yu-Chi Kuo, who constantly inspires me and has been instrumental in everything I’ve become.
I enjoy collecting rare digital items.

Favorite Quotes
You have been told also that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary.
And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge,
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work,
And all work is empty save when there is love;
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
— Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
— Jacob Riis
