Background
Before Ethereum went live over four years ago, Joseph Lubin, founded ConsenSys to support the ongoing development, growth, and opportunity of Ethereum. Since then, ConsenSys has helped incubate and invest in more than 100 projects and companies, including key mainstays of the Ethereum ecosystem — Infura, Metamask, Truffle Suite, and Pegasys.
The ConsenSys team sought to expand the ability of developers and businesses to utilize Ethereum, and slowly bend the curve of opportunity from technical progress toward real market potential. As the Ethereum ecosystem matures, ConsenSys is updating its methods to continue supporting the founders making the largest impact.
