About

Please see this page for important disclosures.

I’m a serial entrepreneur and investor (reach out to me via email). I like building next-gen technologies and companies, and I like funding talented people working on tough problems, from biotech/longevity to nuclear energy, and from blockchain infra to quantum computing.

I co-founded Ava Labs (building the Avalanche blockchain), among other things. Prior to my startup journey, I was a PhD candidate (dropped out) at Cornell University. Some of my work is in fully homomorphic encryption schemes, OPE schemes, distributed systems/consensus, and crypto economics. Before grad school, I went to Macaulay Honors in New York City.

I’m based mostly in sunny Miami, Florida. Some good ways to reach me are on Twitter (@kevinsekniqi) or via email ([email protected]). For secure email, use ([email protected]). My public key is:
