“Blockchain Can Help Combat Fraud Especially In Emerging Markets” with Jonathan Nelson CEO HackFund

At Bonova Advisory we interview C-Suites, Thought Leaders and Influencers from Finance and Banking.

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Jonathan Nelson CEO HackFund and Member of SEC Advisory Committee for Capital Formation for Small and Emerging Business.

Jonathan founded Hackers/Founders (H/F) a community organization for startup entrepreneurs in 2008. By 2011, he expanded H/F launching the Co-op, a founders’ cooperative program that helps early-stage companies scale globally. Jonathan grew a $9M services-for-equity fund to $600M market cap portfolio in 5 years. He’s maintained an annualized IRR of over 30%.

Jonathan launched HACK Fund, a venture fund on the blockchain, to help solve liquidity problems for investors, and to make it easier for companies to receive funding no matter where they are based in the world.

Can you tell us the story of how you got involved with the Regtech or Crypto markets?
