Since 2005, TechCrunch, founded by Michael Arrington, has been a primary source for global tech and innovation news, trends, and updates.
By end of 2017, Arrington kicked-off a $100 million hedge fund, Arrington XRP Capital, entirely based on cryptocurrency, making a turning point in his career path, and making a steady statement in the world of startup funding.
Wamda Capital had the opportunity to meet with him in its Dubai offices, along with Natalia Karayaneva, the founder of Propy, a crypto-based real estate title registry startup, funded by Arrington XRP Capital.
Together, they discussed how Wamda’s been inspired by the TechCrunch model, and how Arrington decided to make a shift and embrace ICOs and cryptocurrency-related investments, the business he has in mind in the Middle East, and what Propy might bring to the table.
