I graduated from Wharton with a BSc in Economics and began my career as an investment banker. In 2012, I left my cushy job at Morgan Stanley to begin an entrepreneurial adventure. My first startup, TINCO, was a financial services business created to protect investors from the purchasing power destruction of then-unprecedented quantitative easing.Although TINCO failed, it led me to purchase my first Bitcoin in 2013.While building TINCO, I started an advisory business called Satya Management to serve start-ups in the consumer, media & entertainment, and wellness industries.Through a client, I fell in love with the live events industry and decided to start my 2nd company, 90sFest. 90sFest was a live events platform catered to millennials that pioneered the convergence of experiential marketing with mass social media distribution. We sold 90sFest to Scopus Media in 2017.It was at this time that I was hired to try to salvage the now infamous Fyre Festival. Many who saw the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, have called me the “voice of reason.”After Fyre, I saw that my bitcoin investment returned 20x my principal and began deep research on the cryptocurrency industry. I later became Principal at a blockchain-focused venture fund called Wave Financial.
I left Wave Financial in 2019 to strike out on my own and continue to advise, coach, and invest in leading entrepreneurs.I once again fell in love with an industry – sustainable agriculture – and now lead business development at Steward.
