Blockchains as a Business Force

Allan Matheson founded Golden Pear Capital, a liquid token, crypto hedge fund which provides sophisticated investors with a portfolio of fundamentally sound positions and utilizes decentralized finance to generate and compound yields. Allan is a successful tech entrepreneur who has built and sold four companies primarily in compliance technology. He is a mentor in the Web3 cohort of Creative Destruction Labs, sits on the boards of Oliver Benefits Administration Software and Lefebvre Sarrut, a leader in Europe in legal publishing and legaltech.

Blockchains offer a revolutionary new tool for technologists to build upon. However, because their key use case is to allow for the transfer of value, each ecosystem must also take incentives and penalties into account. Allan will explore how the technology can be used to bootstrap growth within traditionally capital intensive industries such as finance (Defi) and infrastructure (Depin), and align community incentives.
