What is your background briefly?
I’m an angel in 100+ startups and founder of several including pryze.com in the crypto space.
Does it seem like a logical background to what you do now?
I invested in Brave, Ripple, Filecoin and Civic early on and this helped me learn crypto.
1 min pitch for what you are doing now?
I am Co-Founder Of pryze.com and Partner at Ridge Ventures.
Why did you get involved with the SyncFab Protocol?
I was impressed by the team and the vision. But as a traditional VC I can’t invest in tokens for our fund. So I offered to advise and help.

Why do you think it is such a powerful idea?
It’s a huge industry, and it’s insanely inefficient
The $12TN Global Manufacturing Industry represents more than 15% of Global GDP according to the JP Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI. The Manufacturing supply chain with trust-based intermediary transactions, IP security, centralized asset control, supply chain transparency and quality control are perfectly suited for smart contracts through a blockchain protocol secured and incentivized for just in time production by the MFG Token.
