After a $500m exit, what should you do next? Enter Web3.

Sheila Lirio Marcelo sold her previous tech business for a cool $500 million in 2020, and has now embarked on a Web3 adventure as cofounder and CEO of learn and earn Web3 platform Proof of Learn.

Sheila has had an incredible career so far, founding Care.com in 2006, starting as an online marketplace for childcare before offering senior care, pet care, housekeeping and more. Before starting Care.com she was VP of Product Management and Marketing at Upromise, a service that helped families save for college, and she was Entrepreneur in Residence at Matrix Partners.

We talk about her mission to unlock accessible, high quality blockchain education, as well as women’s perceived role as ‘Chief Household Officer’ and how we can welcome more diversity in the Web3 space.
