Part 1: Greg Kidd’s Forrest Gump journey
The first of a 5 part weekly series
Last month, we sat down with Hard Yaka co-founder and partner Greg Kidd to discuss his story—everything from his journey, his recent exploits including a Congressional campaign and a bank investment, as well as his vision for the future. The result is this 5 part weekly series.
Even within the world of tech, often dominated by extraordinary individuals, Greg Kidd is unique.
At a time when the industry eschewed politics, Greg was earning his degree at the esteemed Harvard Kennedy School of public policy and government. And when founders were moving fast and breaking things, Greg’s day job was at the Federal Reserve, the most deliberate of institutions.
Along the way, he built and invested in some of the world’s most successful companies.
Fast forward to today and we find ourselves in a time where tech, finance, politics, policy, and regulation are all converging. That unique experience is now coming into focus.
In Part 1 of this series, Greg shares his story, what he calls his Forrest Gump journey.
Greg, I would not be highlighting Ripple. Otherwise, I would support you.
