About

I’m a relentless optimist and problem solver with operating + investing experience across consumer, enterprise, crypto / web3, fintech, and infrastructure. Currently driving ecosystem growth and ventures for Base at Coinbase and investing in onchain consumer and social apps at Social Graph Ventures.

As an entrepreneur at heart, I previously founded a patent licensing marketplace and an ecommerce clothing business. I’m also passionate about supporting the technology ecosystem and helping startups grow their businesses, having worked with founders on product, go-to-market, marketing, communications, and business development at various venture capital firms.

In my spare time, I take photos, write, and enjoy chatting with people who are deep in crypto-adjacent rabbit holes of their own. You can reach me by email at ct534@cornell.edu or DM me on Twitter / X @davidtsocy.
