About Nikil Viswanathan
Nikil Viswanathan cofounded Alchemy, whose software powers thousands of blockchain-based Web3 companies.
Alchemy, founded in 2020, was valued by private investors at $10.2 billion in February 2022; Viswanathan owns an estimated 26% stake.
Forbes estimates that Alchemy is now worth around $6 billion as the valuations of private tech companies have generally fallen from their peaks in early 2022.
In December 2021, the company announced the launch of Alchemy Ventures, which invests in current clients with the goal of bootstrapping the industry.
Viswanathan and cofounder Joe Lau, both Stanford grads, found initial success with meetup app Down to Lunch, briefly topping the Apple Store charts.
