[REPLAY] Powering the Zero Knowledge Revolution, with Kurt Hemecker, now CEO of the MINA Foundation | a web3 episode
Description
Many catalysts are in place for the MINA ecosystem to flourish in 2024 and beyond. Back in April 2023, I recorded with Kurt Hemecker a Runway Series (venture capital, crypto/web3 podcast, runwayseries.co) episode about the Mina Foundation and how it serves the MINA Protocol.

Big crypto announcement for the Swiss / Geneva #crypto ecosystem.
The Mina Foundation, a major crypto Foundation which serves the #zeroknowledge MINA Protocol, becomes a Swiss Foundation 🇨🇭, as it officially relocates from the US to Switzerland.. And for once, not headquartered in Zug but in Geneva!
A rare occurrence, when usually Zug takes the lion share in the country when it comes to crypto attractivity and headquarters.
Taking a step back, I even think that it is a strong signal for the benefit of the European crypto market vs. the US.

Also, Kurt Hemecker (ex-PayPal, ex-Libra/Diem) is promoted from COO to CEO, taking over from MINA Founder Evan Shapiro who becomes President of the MINA Foundation.
In 2022, MINA has raised more than $90M for its unique zero-knowledge protocol, notably for its constant size... of only 22kb. But there is much more to learn from the thriving MINA ecosystem and protocol.
As a global pre-seed web3 investor focusing 100% on ZK with Olive Capital, and based in Geneva, I am really excited by this news for our ecosystem and about what Mina is building.
