Prashish Rajbhandari

Prashish Rajbhandari is a builder, product designer, and product engineer by heart who began his journey in the blockchain space during a 2015-2016 internship at a financial technology company in California. Influenced by an uncle who also worked at the firm, he started reading the white papers for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which sparked his interest in the technology. He closely monitored the industry as it matured, eventually transitioning into building decentralized solutions such as non-fungible tokens, gaming applications, decentralized finance, and cross-blockchain bridges.

Today, Prashish is a co-founder of Venture 23, a blockchain company based in the United States and Nepal. In this role, he partners with major Layer 1 and Layer 2 chains to build applications, tooling, and communities during the early stages of the technology. He is a strong advocate for Web3 and digital ownership, believing that blockchain technology empowers users and creators by allowing them to directly own their networks and content rather than relying on centralized corporate platforms.
