Hi there 👋🏽
My name is Sid Shekhar and I'm currently building
Gina - an AI
companion in your wallet that makes transacting onchain easier. See here
for a
demo
of Gina in action.
Previously I led the Blockchain Research team at
Coinbase where I
regularly shared insights on Web 3 & DeFi on a weekly institutional
markets call that can be found on the
Web
and on
Spotify.
Additionally in a previous life, I co-founded
TokenAnalyst
, a London-based blockchain analytics startup (acq Coinbase). Our work
was covered by
Bloomberg,
Business Insider, and
more. I'm an alum of Cornell and UCL and have lived, worked, and studied in
🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇮🇳 🇮🇱 🇹🇷 and 🇪🇬.
