I'm Gaurang Desai. I've been working in marketing and biz dev for over 11 years now. The first 7 were in web2, but the last 4+ have been a wild ride in web3!
Really into growth strategies, especially using social media to take startups from 0 to 1. Love testing out new dapps and protocols - a total beta nerd when it comes to web3. NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, public goods - I geek out on it all, apart do collect NFT art and music in my spare time.
Currently working at Nebula as Biz Dev & Operations Lead and advising some projects.
I excel at partnering up and making deals to grow businesses. I'm all about community and culture - that's what guides me.
