Update: I’m moving to New York!

It was ~8 years ago that I moved from Auckland to Sydney to move out and build a life from scratch. During that time, I’ve met so many amazing people that have been instrumental in my journey and have generously helped me with their time and resources. From dropping out of university to selling/launching/closing multiple startups, the ups and downs have not been anything short of insane.

Now, it’s time to do that same process again but in the biggest way possible — by moving to New York!

Why now and why New York?

Three simple reasons:

New York is the centre of the western world. Culture, capital and the curious are all there and in concentration. No place comes second.

Finance 1.0 is in New York, it’s obvious that Finance 2.0 (crypto) will/is already there too. Moving increases our chances of succeeding. Excited to be able to not have to wake up in the morning for meetings too.

You’re only in your 20s once in your life. As much as I want to grow my career, I also want to have a life that is worth looking back on. Living in New York satisfies that desire.

If you’re reading this and know anyone in New York that I should connect with, please tag them below and I’d love to reach out to them! Will be there from the 27th of June.

Also, on a closing note, thank you to the following people who were at the start of my life in Sydney and have remained friends over the years: Rob Morris, Luke Bevans, Josh Amoils, Daniel Brockwell, Daniel Bar, Rob Liu.
