Ryan D. Baird

“Wired at birth to allocate capital” In my spare time, I arbitrage volatility and trade derivatives on technology stocks that will one day be >trillion dollars businesses. I'm obsessed with investing in monopolistic technology and compounding knowledge. I talk a lot about early-stage startups, fundraising, cross-border venture capital, growth hacking, the blockchain, cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, how can I short ICOs?, eCommerce, artificial intelligence and the opportunity cost lost in non-scalable investments. Lastly, besides the World Champions Golden State Warriors; I don't watch TV because I believe Wall Street & the Federal Reserve is the greatest soap opera on Earth. Always best to get an introduction to me. I don't check linkedin and I have reached the maximum number of connections.
