Bio

  • Grew up in New Zealand and started coding when he was 12 (he is 22 at the time of writing, 31-7-2020). Also mentions his accomplishments are connected with O1.
  • From his own bio on his DeFi Weekly blog (5-3-2020):

"I’m Kerman and I’ve been making and shipping products for over a decade. I sold my first company at the age of 20 after it received millions of users globally. My second venture was in the DeFi space and raised venture money although didn’t work out. Apart from launching ventures, I’ve also worked in many venture funded companies that have raised tens of millions of dollars from top investors. Such experiences have been valuable in knowing the execution risks of launching products at scale."

My love for technology was present from a very young age (about 7), but it really took off when I taught myself how to code when I was 12. Since then I’ve always done things and followed my passion. I had my first “code my startup for me for 5% equity” pretty early on as well. Regardless I’ve always pushed through any obstacles thrown my way and continued making things people want.

Through being a founder and pitching to numerous investors since I was 15, I’ve slowly come to treat the decisions in my life as I was a VC, investing in myself.
