Hosted by David Cohen

In this episode of the Give First podcast, David Cohen sits down with Jonathan Levin, co-founder and CEO of Chainalysis, the billion-dollar blockchain intelligence company that helps businesses and governments make sense of crypto. Jonathan shares what it takes to create a category before the market believes in it, from years of hearing no to the conviction that blockchain would reshape finance with or without Chainalysis. He is one of 13 unicorn founders featured in David Cohen and Amir Hegazi's new book, "Chasing Unicorns," which lays out the PRIDE framework behind Techstars' billion-dollar companies.
