We are thrilled to announce Min Kim as a Deconet advisor. Min Kim is a Palo Alto native, Dartmouth graduate, and the founder of Blocultural Studios, a blockchain investor relations and events boutique shop. We are grateful she is willing to bring her expertise in community, marketing, and events to bear for the Deconet mission.

We asked Min Kim a few questions to understand why she’s fired up about Deconet and what she brings to the table.

How did you hear about Deconet?

I heard about Deco.network at my first event that I threw in partnership with Serendipia! CEO David Sneider was there pitching on behalf of Deconet, and his pitch was phenomenal and really captivated the audience.

A few days later David and I met over coffee and since then we’ve been in touch regularly! David is my type of entrepreneur: edgy, funny, and always coming up with creative ideas that are completely out of the box.

Tell us more about your background and experience in crypto.

I originally worked for Tim Draper in marketing and partnerships for his pre-accelerator Draper University. Draper U has produced founders of companies such as Doc.ai, QTUM, Datawallet, and TRON, just to name a few.

I set up partnerships with two startups at Draper U — BitClave and QTUM. Eventually I also assisted both projects with marketing, PR, events, etc. They were happy with my execution, so I got a lot of positive word of mouth from my experiences at Draper U. I’ve also met a lot of crypto entrepreneurs at the crypto meetups that I held in San Francisco.

Why did you choose to join Deconet as an advisor?

I love that CEO David Sneider is very mission driven. He’s not in it to make a quick buck. He really cares about developers and is extremely passionate about empowering the people who contribute to open source projects, people who often want a more flexible lifestyle than the typical 9–5 job.

I am a huge fan of equal access and democratization — they have always been some of my core values, even before I entered the crypto space. Most importantly, I feel that David and I are aligned on these key values.

David also is plugged into the developer scene in San Francisco. He goes to almost every single ETH developers event, so I know he understands the problem he’s trying to solve, and also has a good network of people to test out his product and provide feedback.

What do you plan to focus on as an advisor at Deconet?

I’m here to help with Business Development and Strategic Partnerships, primarily focusing on working with token holders who can help accelerate Deconet’s growth. I’m also looking forward to assisting with the community and content marketing side of things.

Where do you see Deco.network in 3 years?

It is going to be a company that all developers talk about, know, and want to work with (or for).

We are grateful to have Min Kim’s expertise and energy as part of the Deconet team. We are certain she will bring invaluable perspectives and help to orchestrate some amazing partnerships.
