Antoni Zolciak, Co-Founder, Aleph Zero
Antoni Zolciak co-founded Aleph Zero, a privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain - and watched it go from a 30-million-dollar idea to a 960 million rocket ride...and then back down to earth.
He blends cybersecurity with creativity, grew up between art and algorithms, and built Aleph Zero from scratch - with no safety net, no funding, and nothing but belief.
In this rollercoaster of a talk, Antoni opens up about burnout, billion-dollar valuations, and the brutal cost of building something that matters.
