Lydia Hylton is a partner at Bain Capital Crypto, a $650M Web3 fund! Lydia was also a Stamps Scholar at Georgia Tech and is a Stanford GBS alum. With a background in software engineering and data science, Lydia held positions as a Bain & Company consultant and a data analyst at Facebook - she then shifted to Web3 infrastructure as an investor at Redpoint Ventures. She currently has a keen interest on early-stage DeFi, Consumer, and DAO-focused applications and protocols.

The venture had 17,437 contributors and was the largest crowdfunding effort for a physical object. Austin now works as head of partnerships at Polygon Technology. He is also a proud GT alum and played Linebacker for the Yellow Jackets during his time here.
