Andrew chen, Co-Founder, Graffle.io

Andrew is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and pilot who doesn’t believe in doing anything that’s not as fun as flying a plane. His first commercial success was as a poker pro during the late 2000s, and since has had a successful career in tech and exits in the food and beverage space.

He is a co-founder of Graffle.io, a venture-funded startup that builds infrastructure for the blockchain industry. Graffle's focus is on helping existing enterprises strategize and execute their web3 strategy. The company works with multinational Fortune 500 companies to modernize their offerings with blockchain products.

Andrew is a prolific early-stage angel investor with multiple seed deals that have achieved unicorn status, a venture partner in AI funds, and a financing and growth advisor to startups.

In his free time, Andrew loves flying his plane into precarious places, climbing mountains that take too many days, and traveling until something breaks from being unused in his home in Los Angeles.
