Blockchain innovation hub Blockgeeks launched in Canada

Blockgeeks, a blockchain innovation hub and marketplace offering access to education, news and jobs, is launched in Toronto, Canada.

Blockgeeks is a creation of three successful entrepreneurs, Vlad Martynov, Dmitry Buterin and Ameer Rosic. They see their mission as to enable mainstream businesses and investors to access practical blockchain expertise. In turn, this will help the business world to benefit from the blockchain’s remarkable ability to make commerce more secure and efficient.

“The biggest challenge is that businesses outside of fintech don’t understand it, and therefore either ignore it or run away from it, reducing the chances for blockchain to interface with the mainstream economy. This is especially true when there are scare stories or controversies, even if these are entirely natural for such a radical new technology,” said Rosic.

Blockgeeks’ talent pool is designed as a “go-to” for companies, connecting them with developers actively involved with distributed ledger technology.
