Victor Santos

My passion is building and supporting innovative solutions for the underserved using technology as a medium for impact and a catalyst for positive change. I prefer to focus on mission-driven products and double-bottom-line companies that create real impact for their users and stakeholders. I believe that blockchain technology and asset tokenization will democratize and decentralize financial services; as a result, cryptocurrency will create more egalitarian access to capital for those who genuinely need it around the world. Victor Santos co-founded Airfox at the Harvard Innovation Labs, after incubation at TechStars Boston, to extend critical financial services to the billions of unbanked and underbanked.
