Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenri Pihkala is a serial entrepreneur and technical leader with 12+ years building high-performance, real-time systems and decentralized data infrastructure. As co-founder and long-time CEO/CTO of Streamr he raised $30M, led global teams, and architected a hyperscalable data-broadcasting protocol whose token once topped a $250M+ market valuation. He combines hands-on engineering (from low-latency trading platforms to blockchain protocols) with product and fundraising chops, and now splits his time as CTO at Silta Finance building AI-powered due diligence for large infrastructure deals. Passionate about data, decentralization, and AI, he advises multiple Web3 startups and has a track record of turning niche technical innovations into commercially valuable products. Less obvious: his background in quantitative trading and real-time IoT platforms informs a pragmatic approach to latency, robustness, and market-fit in distributed systems.
