Andres Assmus

In the era of decentralization & reputation, I am building new tools to rebalance the way that pyramids and networks work together. Today, I'm leading a venture to help people have a better user experience on "assets.". I was born in the era of oil abundance; I am driving innovation in the digital humanist. Many people believe that only computer science can create tech, but we forgot the essence of organizations: they are social agreements to make products and services for communities. I still think that innovation comes from desire, ideas, iteration, friction, failure, crypto-economics, design, anthropology, and business models. I have always been passionately engaged in startups and building businesses, creating my first at 18 years old to afford my business school. I was always curious about sociology, philosophy, technology (methods of production), and marketing. I lived in Colombia, France, Spain, Switzerland, the USA & Canada. I am an immigrant, a nomad, always learning, building, co-creating, and matching teams. Cofounder & board member at several organizations in PropTech, blockchain, and innovation.
