Trevor is a prominent blockchain founder and investor. He became a very early leader in the blockchain community, financing projects like Ethereum, EOS, Hashgraph and Shapeshift. In 2017, after predicting the mega-trend of financial securities migrating to the blockchain, Trevor founded his 3rd company: Polymath - the world's first security token platform. Prior to Polymath, Trevor’s Oculus Rift-based project was the first VR exit. He is also the cofounder of Digital Assets International, a private equity fund that acquires high margin/cashflow online businesses. Polymath was founded after Trevor attempted to 'tokenize' his PE fund and experienced first hand how painful it was to launch a compliant security token.
