Crypto Briefing
sat down with FTC Head of Community Parker Jay-Pachirat for an interview during Consensus 2022, where she spoke at length about her experience at both FinTech Collective and Boys Club, how Web3 needs to better serve underrepresented communities, and why she can’t wait for zero-knowledge proofs to explode on Layer 2.
Parker Jay-Pachirat: I’ve always been interested in systems of power. I grew up in an anti-tech environment; none of my family or peer group were into finance or entrepreneurship. I studied critical theory and interrogating systems of power, which was when I started reading about tech, and especially AI. I saw connections between my studies and bleeding edge technology. When I realized that, I threw myself into it. I started working at a social media startup, then an early stage VC, and then Fintech Today as a product manager. Eventually I was asked to be Chief-of-Staff and built out the crypto media arm.
