Trevor Koverko, Angel Investor

I love investing in, co-founding companies with, and hanging out with other founders (especially in Web3). There is nothing harder/lonelier than being a founder and I am energized by others going through the same journey. I started out as a pro athlete getting drafted by the NHL's New York Rangers in 2005. A few years later, my career officially ended after a car accident. I was hit by a fully loaded transport truck, sent to the ICU, and diagnosed with a 'catastrophic' brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale of under 9, I was a 7) that left me with a permanent disability. But I decided to keep on trucking and started to recover well. My first start-up, eProf.com, failed. My 2nd was an unnamed VR project that I founded after trying on the Oculus Rift DK1 in 2014. I spent the next 12 years building start-ups with a focus on Web 3. Most recently I co-founded Sapien: a data marketplace that helps long-tail AI models close the performance gap with big tech via a mobile data labeling game. I also like to angel invest mostly in my friends (Ethereum ICO, BlockOne, Hive, Eigen Layer, Alongside, Ritual, EtherFi, SEI +60, and LP in funds like Polychain).
