Who is Chris Dixon?

Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english.

Today, in our little mini series about popular blockchain people let’s introduce you to Chris Dixon, general Partner at the famous venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz, often abbreviated as A16Z.

What makes Dixon interesting to know about is that he is one of the most prominent voices about Web 3 and crypto, which also turned him into one of the most successful investors in the space.

Dixon came to Andreesen Horowitz after a successful Silicon Valley career: MBA, then Venture Capital, two-times successful founder with exits to McAffee and eBay.

He got interested in crypto early, when Twitter shut down its app marketplace way back in 2008. This made it clear to him that the future of the internet shouldn’t be in the hands of just a few companies.

And his bets paid off very handsomely. He was a very early investor in Coinbase for example, and now leads Andreesen Horowitz’s crypto team.

You can find Dixon talking about crypto on Twitter, where he has a large following and regularly shares his thoughts on the future of the industry. Go check it out, he often breaks things down for the rest of us!
