Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Chan is a managing partner and growth-focused operator with eight years in crypto and a 20+ year career blending marketing, product and venture-building across startups, sports entertainment, and enterprise software. He invests in and mentors early-stage crypto founders (Deep Ventures, Techstars) while previously scaling go-to-market for projects like Meter, Thesis*, and Panther Protocol and driving 40% annual growth cycles at Thorn Technologies. A serial founder and former adjunct professor, he pairs hands-on product marketing with investor instincts—he’s launched podcasts, organized Startup Weekend DC, and learned hard lessons from failed startups that sharpen his trader’s appetite for risk and iteration. Based in New York, he advises across crypto x AI, Bitcoin infrastructure and trust-enhancing protocols, and often steps into interim CMO or commercial roles to translate technical roadmaps into adoption. Not obvious at first glance: he balances strategic investing with practical execution—often doing the tactical work himself, from content that drove organic traffic 20x to hands-on launch playbooks.
