Our story
Built by students, guided by faculty
Oregon Blockchain Group was founded in 2017 by Adam Farris, Vivek Sharma, Juliyen Davis and Connor Bussey, with the goal of bringing blockchain to University of Oregon students.
With guidance from finance professor and blockchain expert Stephen McKeon and entrepreneurship professor Kate Harmon, the group grew from a reading circle into four working branches: Research, Engineering, Venture Capital and Marketing.
