Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital. I’m a programmer, a writer, a teacher, a public speaker, and an Effective Altruist. Formerly, I’m a general partner at MetaStable Capital, a cryptocurrency hedge fund.

I teach a class on cryptocurrencies at the Bradfield School of Computer Science. I was formerly a software engineer at Airbnb. Before that I was Director of Product at App Academy. Before that I was a mental coach and wrote a book called The Philosophy of Poker. And before that I was a world-class professional poker player, sponsored by Full Tilt Poker.

That’s me in a nutshell. It’s a pretty strange path, from professional poker player to software engineer to investor. But if you want to get the full picture, you’ll need to know my origin story. It’s good, I promise.

Shawn Fanning is Co-Founder of Helium, and angel investor. He developed Napster, one of the first popular peer-to-peer ("P2P") file sharing platforms, in 1999. The popularity of Napster was widespread and Fanning was featured on the cover of Time magazine.

The site in its initial free P2P incarnation was shut down in 2001 after the company's unsuccessful appeal of court orders arising from its encouraging the illegal sharing of copyrighted material. A paid subscription version of the site followed, and was purchased by Rhapsody on December 1, 2011. Following his involvement with Napster, he joined, and invested in, a number of early-stage technology startup companies.
