Over the years, Alex has raised over $1 billion in venture and private equity funds to help position his startups as leaders in their respective fields.
“I decided to join Coral because of the quality of the team and the unique set of protocols they have developed. Decentralization needs a new language and Coral has developed several very important elements that can become the foundation for the future of open blockchain applications.” — Alex
