Brett Gibson took an unconventional path from studying philosophy at UC Santa Barbara and making pizzas to teaching himself coding and becoming a venture capital investor, after founding multiple startups including Posterous and serving as an early engineer at companies like GrandCentral. At Initialized Capital, he built the firm's internal decision-making software including a blind-voting system for evaluating deals, and focuses on highly technical investments in crypto infrastructure and trading platforms while hosting the "High Bit" podcast about technical problem-solving.
