Senior🎓
Top SchoolAki Balogh is a seasoned founder and CEO with 13 years building go-to-market strategy and product-driven companies in blockchain and AI-enabled SaaS. As co-founder and CEO of BitSafe in New York, he leads development of Bitcoin interoperability products—iBTC, siBTC, CBTC and structured yield Vaults—and has raised $4M from notable crypto investors. He previously co-founded and scaled MarketMuse from startup to acquisition, bringing deep experience in productization of data-driven platforms and content intelligence. Aki combines strategic sales and fundraising chops from venture and enterprise roles with hands-on technical roots (early software development at the University of Michigan and an AAS in Business Computer Programming). He also advises and consults across blockchain, ops-as-a-service, and go-to-market firms, reflecting a blend of operator, investor-facing, and technical leadership. Less obvious: he pairs startup grit with institutional experience from VC and consulting, enabling rapid product-market fit while navigating complex partnerships across ecosystems like Ripple, StarkNet and Canton.
