Hi, my name is Adam Cochran.

I'm a professor, investor, marketing/strategy exec and husband. I focus on fintech, artificial intelligence, biotech and behavioral economics. But, I'm most well known for my work in cryptocurrency.

I run the niche venture fund Cinneamhain Ventures. You can find out more about us at CEHV.com

For my teaching & investing, I spent a lot of time researching trends, behaviors, markets and what makes a good business. I publish these resources both here and on my Twitter. Chances are that's why you are here.

You can make sure to get the latest by following me on Twitter, or signing up for my newsletter:

I've previously done work for great companies such as eBay, NSADAQ, Chase Bank, Royal Bank of Canadian, Candian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Automattic and AngelList. I was also the first marketing and bd hire at DuckDuckGo.

Previously I lead up community marketing efforts with Dogecoin, and was the director of marketing for a Canadian Bitcoin exchange which grew to >50% of the Canadian market. I continue to consult with crypto companies and invest in the DeFi space.
