Kevin Owocki & Rena O'Brien: From Gitcoin to Allo - The Case for Onchain Capital Coordination

Kevin Owocki is the founder of Gitcoin and co-founder of Allo Capital, focused on regenerative crypto economics.

Rena O'Brien is a web3 strategist and DAO builder with experience spanning Gitcoin and global capital networks.

In this episode, Kevin and Rena explore why onchain capital allocation matters—and how programmable money can transform how we fund public goods, startups, and impact at scale. They discuss new coordination tools, the philosophy behind capital as a force for good, and what it might look like to fund “missions not markets” in the years ahead.

If you're curious about the future of funding, DAOs, or the next layer of crypto beyond speculation, this one's for you.
