Founder · London
Hi, I’m Altan. I’m a founder with a background in robotics, AI, blockchain infrastructure and financial markets.
I co-founded Nuffle Labs, a spin-out from NEAR Protocol. We raised $13 million led by Electric Capital, grew the company to 14 people and built infrastructure across data availability, shared security and multichain restaking.
Nuffle later became MoreMarkets, where we built financial-market products used by more than 4,000 users and attracted over $45 million in deposits.
Before that, I worked in partner engineering at NEAR Protocol, helping teams build and launch infrastructure across the ecosystem.
My work has spanned fundraising, partnerships, product strategy, hiring, treasury management, investor relations and bringing deeply technical products to market.
I studied robotics and AI at Imperial College London. I’m now exploring a broad range of topics within physical AI, financial markets and real-world risk.
Outside work I read a lot of history and I’m drawn to anything with real engineering in it, planes especially. I play tennis and watch a great deal more of it than I play. I follow football and support Galatasaray, which in my family was never presented as a choice. The rest of the time I’m usually building something small for the fun of it.
Always up for meeting good people. If you’re building something, or just want to talk physical AI, robotics, markets or risk, say hi.
