Kirill Goryunov@kgoryunov

Award-winning musician and entrepreneur based in LA/SF.
In 2019, I introduced a first-of-its-kind model for investing in people as an asset class, and founded the fintech pioneer HumanIPO, featuring some of the world’s most prominent individuals.
I also 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.
