Eve Eurydice speaks with Jalak Jobanputra, an

early fintech investor in the blockchain space (2013), long before its institutional adoption. Jalak started Future Perfect Ventures in 2014 to invest in decentralized technologies with a focus on crypto assets. She grew up in Nairobi, Kenya to parents of Indian descent and has been a venture capitalist in internet ventures since graduating from Wharton. She was awarded Institutional Investor’s Most Powerful Fintech Dealmakers, was cited as a Top 5 Investor Powering the Blockchain Boom and was awarded Microsoft’s VC Trailblazer Award. She has spoken at conferences and diverse news media including the Milken Global Conference, The Economist Buttonwood Gathering, SALT, Bloomberg, MIT, SXSW, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance.

The two women discuss cryptocurrency, digital assets (including NFTs), a central bank digital coin, blockchain Infrastructure that enables our Healthcare or Education Data to be mined safely & universally on Web3. Unlike fiat currencies that can become illegal tender by law or devalued by FED monetary policy and are used to manage national security via international sanctions, cryptocurrencies are borderless and decentralized. Use computers instead of printers, trust the blockchain.

A very small % of the world population is crypto-literate; unfamiliar with crypto wallets the way people were unfamiliar with email a few decades ago, billions of people await to be informed.
