About Aly Madhavji

I am passionate about emerging technologies to help change the world. This includes blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, articifial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, education, and FinTech. I’ve spent my last few years investing and working on several blockchain ventures and lead Blockchain Founders Fund which invests in and venture builds top-tier Start-ups. We also consult leading organizations and governmental bodies on emerging technologies. I serve on the board of directors of two public companies.

I love to spend my free time working on social sector improvement and have served on the Board of Directors of the University of Toronto and Advantage Mississauga. I previously held roles with PayPal, Microsoft, Bloomberg, and the Royal Canadian Air Force.

I enjoy spending time on millennial development and authored 3 books including an international award-winning book entitled ‘Your Guide to Succeed in University’ as part of the ‘Succeed Series’, where each book is available free of charge. I also perform workshops and speaking engagements for parents, students, and executives. Most recently we published “Your Guide to Get Into Medical School” and “Your Guide to Succeed After Graduation”.

I am an INSEAD MBA December 2016 graduate (Singapore and France) and a Schwarzman Scholar from Tsinghua University. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction from the University of Toronto. I also hold the Chartered Professional Accountant, Chartered Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, and Chartered Investment Manager designations.

I am always keen to connect to exchange best practices or ideas via LinkedIn or [email protected].
