Summary
👤
SeniorAlex Minakov is a lead software engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years in engineering and over 20 years in internet advertising and marketing, who has built three startups (one exited) and helped raise more than $300M via blockchain-powered crowdfunding involving up to 50k investors across 10 countries. Based in San Francisco, he combines hands-on product and technical leadership with venture and business development roles—most recently as Venture Partner/Investment Director and previously as CBO and co-founder of data and AI-driven startups.
