What We’re Looking For

Blockchain is a rebellious community full of people looking to make an impact by harnessing powerful new technologies to make major waves.

• Process-Minded – You love a good spreadsheet and get excited organizing Trello boards. There’s nothing more rewarding than finding a way to make something very manual automatic, and any time you spot a knot, you can think of a system that would untangle it 10x faster.
   

• Tech-Obsessed – Bonus points if the tech that gets you most excited is blockchain. We love our friends in cryptocurrency, too.
