Mike Casey
Entrepreneur seeking the good life

Ciao.
I work with investors and entrepreneurs active in complex markets, whether that’s by geography (e.g., Africa) or vertical (e.g., life sciences).
I also host a podcast on these topics.
For the last 15 years or so, I’ve been focused on the problem of expanding access to capital in market segments that most investors overlook. You may learn why here.
In recent years, I’ve grown increasingly interested in crypto’s potential to transform the creation and exchange of value globally, as well as the development of open, permissionless protocols more broadly.
I live in the United States with my wife, two sons, and dog.
You may get in touch with me on Farcaster or via e-mail at hello [@] caseyjr.org.
