Eric Grill

CEO at CoinOutlet

Eric has been a software developer and entrepreneur for the last 15 years and he started working with Bitcoin in earnest back in 2012. Quickly realizing the potential of this relatively new technology, he immersed himself in mining, buying, selling and advocating Bitcoin as a new means of e-commerce.

Relying on his experience in the world of financial software (concentrated on Hedge Funds) he knew that the market could grow only if access to Bitcoin was available to everyone. Thus the idea of a Bitcoin ATM was born. As with many innovative ideas, this one was being implemented by several other manufacturers; however, none of these were aimed at the market that Eric knew had the greatest potential.

In early 2013, Eric approached Richard Haber, with whom he had collaborated for 7 years on several major projects, and recruited him to help. Eric’s enthusiasm and drive are infectious and the team was able to bring the CoinOutlet brand and its premier ATM to the public in less than a year. Eric is an active member of the Bitcoin community and is a recognized and sought after authority in the crypto-currency World.
