Director of Finance
STRI Labs was created to incubate blockchain startups with the simple premise and purpose of ensuring security, trust, reliability, and identity in the engagement of smart and social contracts. The team represents seasoned startup executives from operations, technology, and marketing. We have experience in some of the biggest name startups from the past and raising tens of millions in financing.
We’re launching our first offering this summer, the Bitcoin Buyers Club, to address a nascent opportunity in the Bitcoin ecosystem. We expect the ecosystem to grow 10x + in the next couple of years, and we are well positioned to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Specifically, we need someone who believes in a future where Bitcoin is the final settlement layer in commerce, smart and social contracts, and who knows and can articulate the difference between proof of work and proof of stake.
This is a founding role. Compensation is a mixture of equity and operations funding with tremendous upside as the company and market growth.
