Eddy has worked in graduate management education in Europe for 12 years for an accredited technology-focused MBA program before moving to Shanghai in 2004 to lead the Chinese arm of a private equity investment company. He completed the Stanford Financial Engineering program and managed VC investments in China and other emerging markets until he discovered Bitcoin and decided to focus on Bitcoin-centric startups and the great potential of these firms to transform the worlds of finance, payments and remittances.
