Profile

Built by Founders  

George S. Georgiades is a Wall Street–trained lawyer focused on capital formation from seed through IPO, digital asset licensing (MTL / MSB / trust), regulatory compliance, and AI governance. He advises broker-dealers, financial institutions, FinTechs, and blockchain companies across the capital-raising lifecycle — delivering a decisive edge through crisp execution and market-tested strategy.

After Wall Street, George became an entrepreneur, serving as founding General Counsel of one of the first regulated crypto trust companies. Following a successful exit in 2021, he co-founded a digital asset trading and trust company and helped build one of the first stablecoin payment networks. He has held senior leadership roles including Chief Legal Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Interim-Chief Executive Officer & Board Chairman.
