On this week’s show, we spoke with Thibaud Marechal, VP Growth @ Kn0x

Thibaud is currently VP Growth at KNØX, a Bitcoin custodian designed for institutions backed by investors such as Fidelity and Initialized Capital. 

Previously, he was Head of Platform at Real Ventures, a $330M early-stage VC in Canada (investor in Blockstream, 1confirmation, Bitaccess, Breather, Element AI, Mindbridge and League). Ran FounderFuel, Canada's most active venture accelerator (80+ deals including Bus.com, Transit and Sonder), investing $100k per company. 

In 2015, he co-founded & led the McGill X-1 Accelerator to bring medical, engineering and computer lab research to market with a shoe-string budget.

 

On the show, we spoke about:

  • Launching McGill X+1 
  • His time spent at Real Ventures and helping launch their crypto practice 
  • Decentralized vs. centralized finance 
  • Scarcity of trust in organizations
  • His active Twitter presence

 

Thibaud is the smartest person I know in the crypto space. Even though we don’t always share the same opinion, I love debating him. Enjoy the conversation!
