Blockchain at Cornell Tech

New York City's top founders, executives, and technologists come to Cornell Tech to explore and refine the ideas and practices shaping the city’s next decade of innovation. And now—with the new Future Proof guest lecture series—professionals, entrepreneurs & students alike will have a chance to hear directly from these leaders writing the next chapter of New York. Even better, Future Proof events are an opportunity to meet other fellow builders pushing forward the frontier. 💡 Reach out if you’d like to participate or partner in this series, or in the many other events we are similarly co-hosting in the city this year.💡 Images below from Future Proof 1: "Reshaping Crypto Venture Capital" on October 27, 2025 in NYC co-hosted with The Initiative for CryptoCurrencies & Contracts (IC3) at Cornell Tech.

It was a great launch for Future Proof at Cornell Tech in New York City! This new guest lecture series brought over 100 entrepreneurs, technologists, professionals, and students together on campus near midtown this past Monday night. We enjoyed a lively exchange between Michael Jordan of DBA and Neil DeSilva of IC3, as they unpacked the opportunities and realities of an internet-first investing era. We then finished the evening with a light reception where the conversations continued post-lecture. Blockchain at Cornell Tech was proud to partner with the The Initiative for CryptoCurrencies & Contracts (IC3) and Cornell Tech to host this first Future Proof dialogue in connection with Alexandra Scheibe and David Taub’s Law 6105: Decentralized Finance class. Stay tuned! More Future Proof dialogues to come!
