Kevin Owocki is a computer scientist, co-founder of Gitcoin, and author of Greenpilled and co-author of How to DAO.

Before Gitcoin, Kevin spent over a decade in engineering leadership as a CTO and founder of open source and web startups.

Kevin co-founded Gitcoin in 2017, where his vision of crowdfunding for public goods helped raise and distribute over $69 million to open source and public goods projects. Gitcoin’s mission is to “Fund What Matters”, and it has helped to catalyze a movement around the funding of social causes, infrastructure, and other frontier projects. Since 2017, Gitcoin has grown into a pillar of the open source ecosystem, upon which thousands of projects rely for financial support and distribution.

Kevin’s work has been featured in a TED Talk, Yahoo Finance, TechCrunch, CNN, SEDaily, Inc Magazine, The New York Times, WIRED, and Forbes (x2).
