The explosive growth of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is creating more and more opportunities for investing in the burgeoning space — something Kavita Gupta knows all about.
Gupta first dove into the world of crypto as a bitcoin miner in 2013. Later, she co-founded ethereum software and application developer Consensys Ventures, as well as blockchain accelerator program Tachyon, and invested in scores of companies along the way.
After a contentious exit from Consensys, she’s now general partner at the Delta Blockchain Fund, a firm she founded just last September. So far it’s invested in 26 early stage companies. But as more people flock to the blockchain space and develop new ways to use the technology, the amount of work Gupta and her coworkers have to do to find those companies is only growing.
