• While you may have never worked in-house or for a startup, you are totally obsessed with words and their power.
• You can talk to C-suite, large institutional investors, developers, policy makers, and total crypto geeks (and if you can’t do this today, that’s ok, we know you’ll dig deep to be able to do this tomorrow).

• A passion for or knowledge of the crypto space paired with a proactive eagerness to understand our customers, interview internal stakeholders, and learn on the fly.
