I am currently a venture-backed web3 founder fellow part of South Park Commons, with a background in engineering (Google, Microsoft), entrepreneurship (founding member of Parallel Finance), product management (web3 UX lead at co-founded blockchain studio), and venture capital (8 decimal capital). I hold a BA in Neuroscience and MS in Management Studies, took my first Vipassana meditation retreat when I was 18, and have been meditating for over 10 years.
Having lived in France, China, and the US, I had the privilege to explore multiple cultures and connect with people from all walks of life. I have previously taught courses on cultural adaptation to 60+ people and always look for creative ways to expand my network and deepen my relationships.
During my free time, I enjoy socializing, hosting events, fitness training, self-development, building side projects, freestyling in popping/hip-hop, cooking, and photography. If you’d like to connect or reach out for any inquiries, message me at <remigai93> (at) <gmail> (dot) <com>.
⚡Morning habits⚡ that help me enjoy and do more: Exercise, Meditation (Vipassana), Journaling (Gratitude+Top Tasks+Mind Dump), Learning.
