Ep. 294 - The Time I Lived w/ Ethereum's Founder & Building Startups w/ Mouse Belt's Galen Danziger

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by eToro, we sit down with Galen Danziger, CTO of Mouse Belt, a blockchain accelerator that helps startups build and launch wildly successful products. We start with the story of the one time that Galen lived with Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, and hear stories of his personal interactions with him. We move on to look at fundraising strategies, the acute differences between an accelerator and venture capital firm, and talk about the key things he looks out for when investing in businesses. Only five out of thousands of applicants get selected to join one of blockchain’s most prestigious accelerators, Galen shares his framework for parsing through the candidates.
