Tristan Pollock's profile on Product Hunt

About

Hey there, I’m Tristan — builder, connector, and startup whisperer. Over 20 years, I’ve built and sold two tech startups (Forbes 30 Under 30), driven $1B+ in revenue across Web2, Web3, and AI, and coached thousands of entrepreneurs via programs with Google for Startups and 500 Global. I also scaled a DAO to 1.2M holders and a $300M market cap, invested $70M+ into 250 startups, gave the largest crypto donation EVER to Save The Children, created Best Buy’s most-opened email ever (23M customers), helped Kanye and Nike launch pop-up shops, and once sent Doge to the literal moon :) *** If you need a hunter and help with your PH launch, read this: https://www.tristantoday.com/home/2020/10/27/my-process-for-winning-at-producthunt ***
