Friends making friends smile.

Erich is an entrepreneur, investor, pianist (not a typo), and family man.

He started his career in civil liberties advocacy, as an ad tech founder, crypto investor and entrepreneur.

Through it all, Erich has annoyed many with his silly accents:

Polish and Russian
(from one set of grandparents).

Native New York
(from his other grandparents).

Cuban (from growing up in Miami).

And British English (from spending his first formative years in the UK).

On returning to London as an adult, he was encouraged to cease and desist from any accent attempts or face deportation.

He now resides in the US with the knowledge they weren’t bluffing.

Julia is a product strategy and operations leader.

Her passion for aligning organizational values with impactful business practices originates from a diverse background, spanning tech startups to corporate giants.

Recently, Julia co-managed a pioneering startup dedicated to accelerating Web3 coordination technologies within the new home construction market.

Prior to that, she spearheaded ethical and responsible AI initiatives, championing the integration of ethical principles into product development strategies.

Now, Julia manages operations for a crypto fund, and is desperately trying to make sure AI doesn’t destroy us all.

Well, unless she’s surfing, meditating, or choreographing dances in her kitchen.

We know that isn’t very reassuring for humanity, but some of her dance moves could never be replicated by any superior lifeform. And nor should they be. Ever.

Brian is a graphic designer and creative director.

He has worked in the marketing, advertising, and design fields for over 30 years.

Every evening, he is herded in from one of those fields to be milked for his visual skills and strategic insights until his udders are dry.

During his illustrious career, Brian has grazed in the lush paddocks of many creative disciplines, yet claims to have emitted very little methane.

To help bolster those claims, we can attest to his work being so visually fresh and fragrant, we want to breathe it in with our eyes.

Our noses declined to comment – especially during that one episode when Brian got too close to an electric fence. 

Let’s just say, he sprayed Comic Sans everywhere.
