Top SchoolJoey Krug is a partner at Founders Fund and a veteran crypto investor and builder with 12 years of engineering and investing experience, focused on defining the firm’s next decade of crypto strategy and backing generational blockchain founders. He co-founded Forecast Foundation (core dev on Augur) and Eco, co-led crypto investing as Co-CIO at Pantera Capital, and runs a top-ranked AngelList syndicate that seeded protocol and fintech deals. A hands-on builder from Applesoft BASIC to modern Python and Ethereum tooling, he contributes to pyethereum and implemented key integrations in Augur’s trading stack including 0x mesh. Joey blends deep technical chops across full-stack and blockchain protocol work with venture instincts honed by advisor and board roles (0x, Ampleforth, Numerai, Origin), and he’s motivated by practical, novel products that “should exist” but don’t yet. Based in Puerto Rico, he’s a Thiel and Edmund Hillary Fellow who still codes and reads in his spare time.
