Equilibrium

How to build a more sustainable future of the internet

Since the early years of Bitcoin and times of “Occupy wall street” movement back in 2011, we had been eagerly searching for a chance to hop in the financial and technological rollercoaster ride of the decentralisation movement. We wanted to be part of the pioneers who are building a more inclusive and sustainable future of the internet.

Finding the right people

In late 2017, particles of the universe finally aligned in a lucrative position. With several in-depth workshops with a long time friend of ours, a crypto and decentralisation pioneer Teemu Päivinen, we found a strong mutual willingness to work together.

We invested our technical & operational execution capabilities as well as strategic know-how & experience in building high performing tech teams and sustainable long term success. At the same time, Teemu brought his extensive domain knowledge and network on the table.

In early 2018, the Equilibrium launched, and the rest is history. 🚀
