Alexander Valtingojer
CEO and Co-Founder of Coinpanion
Alexander is the CEO of Coinpanion which functions as a crypto robo-advisor platform (= Systematic process, which creates, monitors and optimizes an individual portfolio for customers) for crypto-assets. He was already intensively involved with cryptocurrencies in his high school days, which led him to actively work on various projects in this scene. The first project he developed was a Bitcoin-PayPal Marketplace. Later in his student days, he started actively trading cryptocurrencies and also worked on his own ICO, for which he spoke on the panel at the C³ Crypto Conference in Berlin. After that Alexander started a sole proprietorship for software services. During his freelance work, he supported Hicky, an ICO from Germany, in their community communication and developed the first regulatory security token in Europe for the Austrian company Hydrominer. For about four years Alexander has been intensively involved with financial markets and due to his skills, he also acted as a trader on the previous version of Coinpanion which was a social trading platform.
