Andy Bromberg is the CEO of Eco, a blockchain-enabled fintech company that is trying to revolutionize modern banking and disrupt financial infrastructure. Andy and his team at Eco realized that current banks are still utilizing extremely outdated batching systems and clearing procedures based on horse-drawn carriages. While banks have added better layers of technology, there is a true need to rebuild from the ground up. Fortunately, innovative advances in blockchain technology, improvements in fintech interoperability, and growing consumer mistrust of institutions have created the perfect environment for Eco to succeed. To date, Eco has raised around $100M from major VCs including a16z Crypto, Lightspeed, and Founders Fund.
A crypto early adopter, Andy has been building products and businesses in the blockchain space since 2012. His prior company CoinList played a major role in the ICO boom of 2017 and before that, he founded an expert-led political social network called Sidewire. Andy has been a major player in the startup ecosystem along with Ryan Breslow since dropping out of Stanford in 2014 and continues to be very involved in the community.
