Trevor Koverko
Trevor started his career as a hockey player, after being selected by the New York Rangers in the 2005 NHL entry draft. However, after a serious car accident in 2011 derailed his dreams of becoming a professional athlete, Trevor pivoted to entrepreneurship. He quickly became fascinated with the software industry which took him to Silicon Valley and Wall Street, where he saw first-hand what it takes to become a successful tech founder.
In 2012, Trevor began to explore the world of cryptocurrency and purchased his first bitcoin on eBay in 2012.
Five years later, Trevor recognized the transformative potential of blockchain technology and co-founded Polymath -- one of the first projects to propose the concept of 'security tokens'. Polymath makes it easy for companies to securely tokenize real-world assets. Trevor is proud of the dynamic and growing Polymath community. He continues to support Polymath's effort to empower the financial system through the blockchain.
Trevor is regarded as one of Canada’s leading innovators in the world of Web3. He has founded a number of successful ventures, including Matador, Tokens.com, FirstCarbon, Layer 2 Ventures, and an early Oculus Rift-based project that became one of the world’s first VR exits.
He is also a prolific angel investor in Web3 projects like ShapeShift, Block.One, Hashgraph, Alongside, EigenLayer and others.
In his spare time, Trevor enjoys mentoring other founders and brain injury survivors. Outside of work, Trevor enjoys competitive hobbies like Chess and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
