Kirill Goryunov@kgoryunov

Award-winning musician and entrepreneur based in LA/SF.
In 2019, I introduced a human equity asset class (HCBA) that allows investing in people directly, and founded the creator economy pioneer HumanIPO.
Before that, I co-created a leading DCB fintech in Southeast Asia as the first technical person ($100bn+ processed), and led development of new products at Google NYC.
I am a PhD CS dropout and classically trained musician multi-instrumentalist, see more.
I enjoy working on new ideas and believe the only way to buy more time in life is to work with like-minded people. Early investor in OpenAI, Coframe, Arcsapient, and more.
