We sat down with Michael Catt, founder of the University of Kansas Blockchain Institute. He currently is a business development associate at Nebula Ventures, a fin-tech and property tech accelerator fund based in New York City. He shares his story of how he first discovered cryptocurrency on Coinbase to eventually helping to secure a $2 Million Dollar research grant from Ripple's $50 Million Dollar Grant Program to expand blockchain research efforts and bridge the knowledge gap between university students and the curriculum.
