About J.D. Salbego
Hi, I’m J.D. Salbego, a serial entrepreneur, 9+ Web3 BUIDLer, and COO and Co-founder of Etheros Labs, building sustainable DeFi infrastructure and tools to enable mass adoption. I'm also founder and chairman (previously CEO) of Moonstax, a next-gen platform to build, run and scale Web3 metaverse businesses. Before Moonstax, I founded AnRKey X, a top Polygon GameFi studio with 5 x #1 NFT Sales on Rarible, $70M+ TVL in game tokens, numerous industry top chart positions and one of the first to innovate GameFi back in 2020. Over the span of my 9 year career in Web3, I’ve helped numerous blockchain startups and companies all over the world from gaming, NFTs and metaverse, to DeFi protocols, crypto exchanges, digital assets funds and more. I’ve been fortunate to have spearheaded projects and worked with some of the biggest blockchain & crypto asset leaders, who have collectively raised and generated over $2 billion. In addition to being a Web3 startup mentor of renowned global accelerator Techstars, Founders Institute, and Block Dojo, I am also a contributor at Cointelegraph.com and a member of their Innovation Circle for Web3 experts. As a Web3 subject matter expert, I have spoken and been a featured keynote speaker at 45+ conferences worldwide covering topics such as NFTs, Metaverse, Gaming, Blockchain & Web3. Apart from this, my work has been featured in NASDAQ, Forbes, Entrepreneur and Business Insider to name a few. Some interesting trivia about me: → Back in 2018, in partnership with the government, I co-organized one of the largest blockchain conferences in the world to date in Tokyo (JBC2018), which was broadcast on TV nationally with 20,000+ attendees. → Since joining Web3, I’ve traveled to 36 countries and over 324,000 miles working with some of the most culturally diverse, passionate and innovative BUIDLers.
