What does it take to grow a company from zero to over $10 billion of value in just five years? In the case of Nikil Viswanathan's Alchemy, the answer comes down to speed and hustle. Nikil and his cofounder are both Stanford-educated serial entrepreneurs who set out to build a company that would change the world. They see web3 as a major paradigm shift and business opportunity, and the duo has scaled Alchemy into the world's leading blockchain developer platform (think: Microsoft for web3). Nikil shares why 22 of the company's first 27 hires were former founders, why he believes NFTs will be the first web3 iteration to be mass-market friendly, and why he and his cofounder celebrate big wins with a trip to the gym.
