Michael Gronager

Co-founder, Chainalysis

“Is a Ph.D. the new MBA? It might be. I’m not afraid of problems that are way too big.”

Propelled by the belief that in 5-20 years all value transfer will occur over the blockchain, Michael and his co-founders Jan and Jonathan started Chainalysis in 2014. The New York-based Dane has been drawn to vast and vaguely defined questions his whole life - evidenced by him spending 8 years earning an MSc in Chemical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Quantum Mechanics. Bridging financial institutions and blockchain exchanges is indeed a very big problem and Michael’s excitement around solving it is unwavering. “More or less everything that we really value as items and functionality has been built by startups. The spirit of invention is infectious.”

Sravish Sridhar

Founder and CEO, TrustCloud

“What makes my day is hearing customers say, ‘Where have you been all my life?’ We are fixing a fundamentally broken process in Infosec & Privacy compliance and risk assessment.”

Having successfully built and sold his previous startup, Sravish was drawn to truly big and thorny problems when deciding what to pursue next. The problem he settled on was Trust. TrustCloud is building the trust assurance platform for the modern enterprise, upgrading GRC into a profit center with AI and automation.
