Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolValerio Leo is a London-based blockchain entrepreneur and engineer with a decade of experience building and advising startups at the intersection of NFTs, zero-knowledge tech, and product design. As CEO and co-founder of Raycash and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Zama, he blends hands-on engineering with founder-level product strategy, having previously led technical teams at YOX and Sandsoft Games and co-founded multiple blockchain ventures. His background uniquely pairs a formal training in food science with deep technical work in smart contracts and privacy-preserving systems, reflecting a cross-disciplinary curiosity that fuels unusual product ideas. Valerio is known for translating cutting-edge crypto primitives into real-world ownership and identity experiences, and for turning advisory roles into repeatable go-to-market plays. He favors pragmatic innovation: shipping prototypes that demonstrate ZK and NFT value propositions rather than chasing theoretical blueprints.
