The Winklevoss Twins

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, commonly known as "the Winklevoss twins," were launched into the public eye in 2004 when they filed a lawsuit against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. They are also known for being portrayed in the Academy Award-winning film "The Social Network," which dramatized the story of Facebook's genesis.

Beyond the notoriety they gained for their claims that they were the true creators of Facebook, the Winklevoss twins are accomplished entrepreneurs. At the age of 13, they launched their own webpage design company, and in high school, they started the rowing team, which continues to flourish in Greenwich, Connecticut. Their dedication to rowing led them to make the US Olympic Rowing Team in 2008, where they competed in the Beijing Olympic Games, placing 6th.

The twins' entrepreneurial ventures extend significantly into the finance and technology sectors, particularly with their early involvement in cryptocurrency. They first became interested in Bitcoin during a trip to Ibiza in 2012 and have since become prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space. They founded Gemini, a next-generation bitcoin exchange, and developed COIN, a bitcoin ETF set to trade on NASDAQ. Additionally, they manage Winklevoss Capital, through which they engage in angel investing.

In their captivating keynote speeches, the Winklevoss twins not only share their side of the Facebook story but also discuss their experiences as entrepreneurs and their significant contributions to the development of new technologies in finance, including their extensive involvement with Bitcoin.
