Nawaz Ahmed

With the ability to ‘hunt down’ the genius in others and a passion for journeying with early stage founders, Nawaz is a respected authority in the crypto/web3 space.

Since 2019, he’s been an avid angel investor - investing in over 15 early stage crypto companies, including US-based. As an entrepreneur, he’s been through all of the phases of successfully starting a company - ideating, coming up with a product proposition, executing on that vision, and selling. Through this came hard-won lessons about the critical role VC plays in the journey entrepreneurs take.

His current focus at GD1 is on raising and investing for the Web3 Fund. He spends his time meeting founders who are leveraging crypto/web3 tech to build new and exciting businesses.
