Episode description

In this episode of Wyre Talks, we're excited to have Joe Lau (cofounder & CTO) and Nikil Viswanathan (cofounder & CEO) of Alchemy, join us for the show. Alchemy, the world's leading blockchain intelligence and infrastructure company, powers the top hedge funds managing billions of dollars. In this session they share their background - how they met TAing the largest database class in the world at Stanford, built the #1 Social App in the App Store (featured on front page of the New York Times), were honored as Forbes 30 Under 30, and started Alchemy. They share their analysis of the crypto hedge fund industry and provide insights into the product development secrets they use to build a best in class product. Joe and Nikil also give the first sneak peek into Alchemy’s new infrastructure platform, which has been an instant hit and already powers many of the most well known crypto companies within weeks of their alpha release. In addition, as founders who are known for creating an incredible company culture and having extremely high powered investors, they share their tips on hiring and fundraising. We know you’ll love hearing this insightful and entertaining interview as much as we did.
