The room needs a different frame
on the money question.

The blockchain space is a rapidly evolving paradigm reshaping finance, supply chain, identity, and more. As managing partner of a venture fund that evaluates hundreds of blockchain projects each year — applying a rigorous, peer-reviewed investment process — Kameir is in the position to deliver a comprehensive, signal-over-noise view of where the technology actually stands and where it is going.

Blockchain and decentralized finance solutions offer investment opportunities that exceed those of previous technology advances — yet the space is flooded with jargon and marketing material that makes it hard to develop actionable criteria. This session applies sound technology investor principles and deep industry expertise to answer the question that matters: what makes a project in this space actually investable?

The technology underpinning global financial systems is undergoing the most significant paradigm shift since the introduction of computers. Central banks of all developed nations are actively researching or building new currency technologies. As an active participant in CBDC development and an investor in the technologies supporting next-generation monetary solutions, Kameir provides the most current, practitioner-level overview of where money is going — and what it means for your industry.

Cybercrime costs individuals and businesses an estimated $500 billion annually. California, Texas, Nevada, Washington, and New York have all moved toward GDPR-style data protection frameworks — and a new generation of tools is emerging to address the underlying risks. With a background spanning technology, law, and venture investing, and as an early investor in decentralized identity with advanced biometrics, Kameir presents the practical state of the art in personal data security and what organizations need to understand now.
