Description

Columbia Business School Crypto Club hosts Andrew Masanto from Nillion to discuss Building a Unicorn Columbia Business School Crypto Society hosts Andrew Masanto, the Co-Founder of Nillion, at NYC’s Betaworks Studio. Having previously built two hugely successful crypto unicorns (Hedera Hashgraph and the Reserve Protocol), Andrew is currently in stealth building his third and fourth crypto projects - Nillion and NFT.com. Andrew will join us to provide an exclusive and unique insight in his talk ‘How To Build A Crypto Unicorn’. Andrew will discuss what he has learned throughout his journey, including how to build a community, how to decide and execute on an idea, characteristics of successul Founding Teams, and how to stack probabilities to ensure a huge win. He will also discuss the pitfalls and challenges he has experienced throughout his journey and how best to mitigate and avoid them. Following his guest lecture, Andrew will then be joined on stage by Nillion CEO Alex Page, who together will field questions from the audience on all things Nillion, crypto, unicorn building, with nothing off limits. To help bring the story to life, Andrew will use Nillion as a ‘case study’ to walk you through the journey. Here is a bit more on Nillion: Nillion allows a decentralized network of nodes to work together using a non-blockchain technology known as Secure Multi Party Computation (SMPC) to store and process information at essentially centralized server speed, all while remaining information-theoretic secure (ITS). This unique feature represents a significant breakthrough in decentralized systems, allowing Nillion to operate the first decentralized and permissionless public SMPC network at scale. Its security and performance characteristics enable Nillion to not only serve as a secure processing layer for Web3, but also as a source of off-chain computation, as a decentralized private enclave, and as an enabler of interoperability between ledgers. Note the event will take place at New York's Betaworks Studios, 29 Little West 12th Street, on Thursday, March 24th. Doors open at 6:30 PM EDT and the talk will begin promptly at 7 PM.
