We had 30 builders and professionals across crypto, fintech, and venture share what they’re working on and how Cornell and the industry shaped their journey. @CUBlockchain members, Cornell alum working at different companies like @AvaLabs, @GoldmanSachs, @thisisarculus and previously worked at @BlackRock, @base, @avax, @Ripple joined us alongside our friends at @WhiteStarCap, @BNYWealth, @IMCTrading, @Auros_global, @ellipsis_labs, @Uniswap.

Huge thanks to everyone who made it out and for supporting the Cornell Blockchain community.
