=nil & NYU Blockchain Lab
Join us for NYU Blockchain Lab’s next fireside chat with Avi Zurlo, CEO & CPO of the =nil; Foundation and NYU Tandon alum.
Avi most recently led executive strategy and product at =nil;, overseeing its zero-knowledge and blockchain initiatives. Before that, he spent nearly three years as a VC investor at Delphi Digital, where he led 25+ early-stage crypto investments backing teams such as LayerZero, RISC Zero, and StarkWare, and partnered with founders on go-to-market, token economics, and mechanism design.
An NYU graduate with a B.S. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Avi first discovered crypto through Bitcoin and online marketplaces and has been focused ever since on shaping the next wave of decentralized systems. Come hear his journey from NYU to venture and protocol leadership, and ask your questions about breaking into crypto, ZK, and Web3 careers.
