Naval Ravikant

Naval Ravikant is not someone who needs much of an introduction, but he deserves one anyway. The CEO and co-founder of AngelList, he previously co-founded Epinions and Vast.com, and has since built a reputation as one of the most consequential angel investors of his generation, with early bets on Twitter, Uber, Yammer, and Stack Overflow, among dozens of others. What makes Naval genuinely different from most voices in the crypto and business space is that he was not born into his success. His wisdom is entirely earned, the product of relentless curiosity, self-education, and a philosophy around wealth that is grounded in ethics and long-term thinking.
Naval has been a driving force in democratising access to capital and crypto, having popularised ICOs and established CoinList as a token sale platform that went on to conduct some of the most significant launches of the last cycle, including Filecoin, Solana, and Algorand. He has authored the widely read book The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, which offers deep insights into wealth creation and personal growth. More recently, he has been developing USVC, a fund designed to open access to private AI investments for retail investors, applying the same democratisation thesis he championed in crypto to the AI boom.
