Little did Adam know that this meeting was about to completely change how he did investing from this moment on.

In the end, what made me convinced was a question I asked myself — Why is this super talented, experienced, entrepreneur going to spend the next 7 years of his life in an industry that he knows is currently small? My conclusion was that he saw the world changing, and he wanted to be the catalyst of it. So I took a gamble, a calculated gamble, but still a risk. And as of now it has probably been the most defining investment I have made. Because that was the start of the Bitcoin rabbit hole for me. I learned from Coinbase, and since have accelerated 27 companies in Boost in the Bitcoin sector.

After Adam invested in Coinbase in 2012 he decided to focus all of his energy on finding and funding the best Bitcoin companies in the world via Boost VC, his very own startup accelerator.

So far he has invested in 27 Bitcoin companies, some of which have gone on to raise millions of dollars in additional venture capital. Adam has publicly promised to invest in 100 Bitcoin companies by the end of 2017.

None of this would have happened if Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, hadn’t convinced Adam that Bitcoin was going to be a huge market.
