Before fully transitioning into the crypto space, Jason Zhao was the youngest Product Manager at Google DeepMind. Now, at 25 years old, he is an entrepreneur and co-founder of Story Protocol, which recently secured $80M in a Series B funding round led by a16z.
Addressing the issue of AI utilizing data without consent and benefiting from it without sharing rewards with original creators, Story is transforming intellectual property into IP Legos—modular and programmable assets that can be licensed, managed, and monetized via blockchain.
Today, we delve into Jason’s journey as the youngest PM at Google Deepmind, his venture into crypto, solving real-world problems through Layer 1 blockchain, the challenges of IP enforcement and protection, his biggest challenge as an entrepreneur, and his ultimate goals.
