Meet The Co-founders
Throughout my journey in the world of Web3 projects, I've had the incredible privilege of collaborating with visionary co-founders who have not only been instrumental in shaping the projects but have also played a pivotal role in my personal and professional growth.
This section is dedicated to appreciating them.
1. Rachel Black, Founder of HaloFi.
Rachel is one of the best founders I have ever worked with, and my work at HaloFi has been career-shifting for me!
I advanced in my career and undertook different roles that have shaped me to become the best at what I do. Rachel was very helpful in introducing me and putting me through things I was new to, and with her help, I have been able to upscale with different professional tools.​

I am now a professional community specialist, social media manager, content creator, user experience lead, among other experiences I have gained working with her and the whole team. Rachel is based in London.

Francis Odisi is the COO and co-founder at HaloFi and he has been friendly and super helpful.

Tony Zich and Tony He are both amazing co-founders of the legendary Bitcoin contract trading platform, Surf Protocol.

From when I joined Surf Protocol, I have witnessed the project's growth; we had a testnet launch, a mainnet launch on Base, got into the Binance MVB Accelerator program, launched a mainnet on Merlin, and now have more than $1 billion trade volume, $36 million TVL, and 130,000+ unique traders.​
