EP 8: JESSE POLLAK AND BASE

Jesse Pollak shares his backstory and how he got into Web3. He grew up in Washington, DC, attended a Quaker school, and played competitive soccer. He didn't learn how to code until his senior year of high school. He joined Coinbase as a software engineer and eventually became a leader in scaling their consumer products. He then started Base within Coinbase, with the mission of creating an open financial system for the globe. Base is driving international expansion by supporting decentralized builder communities like FBI in India and Builders Connect in Nigeria. They are focused on empowering local builders and providing resources to help them grow.
