Being passionate about innovation and communities, and working on new ideas, products, and challenges, Manbir is a technologist at heart. He is motivated to constantly learn, grow his skillset, and create an impact by empowering people to achieve more. Working on a mission to make the world a more equitable and innovation-driven place, Manbir strongly believes that decentralized technologies like Ethereum can serve as economic tools to create a paradigm shift that revolutionizes how we perceive and exchange value and information, in a democratized way. Ultimately, this can lead to a robust internet of value, reduce economic disparity, and establish fair and transparent systems across the world, especially in a complex geopolitical landscape.
Hi, I’m Manbir. Over the past 5 years, I've had the opportunity to work with some of the blockchain industry leaders including Consensys, Ethereum Foundation, MetaMask, Binance, and some early-stage projects. I have a dual academic background with a Master's in Business from San Francisco and a Bachelor's in Engineering from India.
Working with Consensys, I've led various community, marketing, and product growth initiatives, and built out developer ecosystem support mechanisms such as the Consensys ambassador program, developer community calls, ecosystem research, and have presented, mentored, and judged at various global events and hackathons across the world, having impacted millions of people through countless in-person and virtual engagements collectively. I led the onboarding of industry-leading venture capital firms to the Consensys Startup Program “Scale” – a16z, Blockchain Capital, Truffle Ventures, Draper, and Woodstock. I’ve also driven multiple partnerships; one of the projects was a huge success, leading to a 938% increase in crypto purchases via MetaMask from India – a nearly 10x increase. Working closely with the Ethereum Foundation on ecosystem development with the grants team, I've been actively leading developer outreach to identify core Ethereum builders and educators to provide grants and other forms of support. Most of my work is public and can be found on my LinkedIn and Twitter besides this Notion page.
Through my work, I've been able to create an impact among a broad set of developers, consumers, and creators globally within and beyond the blockchain space, leading to an excellent set of relations working with various stakeholders including founders, core developers, VCs, product and engineering managers, and BDs; across different sectors.
