"Finance is truly a game for the rich, and it really shouldn’t be."
With this conviction, Eric Chen co-founded Injective Labs, building a blockchain designed specifically for finance. Today, this network has grown to a multi-billion dollar scale boasting over $50 billion in trading volume.
But behind this success was an enormous challenge that needed to be overcome. Right after founding the company, the crypto market froze rapidly in 2018, and investors turned their backs. With the market crashing by 80%, how did Eric and his team survive? And how did they manage to grow into a $1 billion company seven years later?
Today, Eric shares his resilient leadership philosophy formed amidst market volatility, and tells us about his vision – creating a world where anyone with just $1 can access the same opportunities as those with millions. Discover the core founder mindset from his journey of turning crisis into opportunity.
