Abby Harris
I am Abby Harris, a leader, connector, and driving force behind New York City’s Web3 and blockchain movement. Over the years, I have established myself as a critical player in the space by building communities, onboarding companies, and fostering innovation that bridges people, businesses, and technologies. My experience spans some of the most influential projects in the industry, and I am confident in my ability to bring unparalleled value to any organization or initiative I work with.
As the organizer of CryptoMonday NYC, I built the largest and most impactful crypto meetup group in the city. For 72 consecutive weeks, I created a vibrant space for over 11k active members to connect, learn, and grow. I’ve had the honor of hosting industry luminaries such as Susan Cummings, co-founder of Grand Theft Auto Games, and Randi Zuckerberg, while collaborating with companies like Republic to deliver high-quality events. I also spearheaded the integration of innovative solutions like NFT-based ticketing systems, demonstrating the practical applications of blockchain technology to the community.
At Raze.finance, I worked directly with startups to help them navigate the complexities of fundraising. I helped founders refine their strategies, strengthen their investor pitches. This role allowed me to combine my passion for connecting people with my ability to facilitate impactful business outcomes.
As an advisor for The DevBrothers, I focused on identifying companies that needed cutting-edge development services, from designing blockchain protocols to creating advanced Web3 solutions. By connecting these businesses with the resources they needed, I helped them stay competitive and achieve their goals in a rapidly evolving market.
My work with CryptoOracle further demonstrates my ability to unite communities with emerging technologies. I’ve onboarded businesses, protocols, and products into the Web3 ecosystem, ensuring they could engage with real-world users to test and refine their offerings.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most forward-thinking minds and organizations in the blockchain space. Whether interviewing industry leaders like Susan Cummings and Randi Zuckerberg or helping businesses adopt transformative technologies, my goal has always been to drive innovation and create meaningful connections.
I pride myself on my ability to bring people together, onboard communities and companies into Web3, and create measurable outcomes that push the industry forward. My experience and network allow me to be a valuable asset to any organization looking to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact in the Web3 space.
