Who Are the Founders of ShapeShift?

ShapeShift was founded by Erik Voorhees and Jon ShapeShift (pseudonym). Erik Voorhees is among the top-recognized serial crypto advocates and entrepreneurs, communicating the virtues of Bitcoin as one of the most important inventions ever created. Having been a featured guest on Bloomberg, Fox Business, CNBC, RT, BBC Radio, and numerous crypto industry events, Erik humbly suggests that there is no such thing as a “free market” when the institution of money itself is centrally planned and controlled.

Before founding ShapeShift, Voorhees was the creator of SatoshiDICE, which popularized the concept of provable fairness and was responsible for most of the world’s Bitcoin transactions in 2012 and 2013. Prior to that, Erik was Head of Marketing at BitInstant in NYC.

Jon ShapeShift was Chief Product Officer and co-founder of ShapeShift and was responsible for driving product strategy, leading product development teams and efforts, and designing solutions that integrate the changing landscape of crypto, decentralized finance, and macroeconomics in general.
