My guest his week is Haydee Barroso, founder and CEO of Atani:

Atani is a European-regulated company that has built the first crypto broker that enables access to all the crypto market with only one account. Atani aggregates the liquidity of top exchanges (centralized and DeFi) so users can access all the coins with only one KYC. 

Haydee's story fits squarely within the thesis for this show:  Atani is a one of one tech company building a unique technical product.  Haydee and team are globally ambitious, already serving over 300,000 customers from all over the world. 

In this conversation, we cover how Haydee and her brother Paul are building this company, and why they are doing it from Madrid.

  • Haydee's early professional experiences, and advice on skills for entrepreneurship
  • Finding Bitcoin in 2013 and shifting career focus
  • Innovation & regulation in the banking industry in Europe
  • Why Atani exists
  • Serving customers in the crypto space
  • Building Atani as a platform

In the last part of our conversation, Haydee talks about building the Atani technology platform in a way that they could open up core services to others similar to how Amazon opened up AWS.    If you are long crypto markets in general, the Atani team is one to watch. 

And, here's the 2011 Wired article about Bitcoin mentioned in our conversation:
