Background

About Jonathan Gabler

I've spent 15 years building at the intersection of institutional business and frontier technology - and I've learned that the best opportunities live exactly where these two worlds don't yet understand each other.My career started at McKinsey, where I learned to operate at C-suite level, structure complex problems, and move large organisations. That foundation - combined with years deep inside crypto as a protocol co-founder, token engineer, and systems designer - means I don't just understand RWA theoretically. I know how to build the product, architect the system, and walk it into a boardroom.What I've built: → NFTfi: Co-founded the first NFT-collateralized lending protocol ($700M+ in loans originated across loans and over users,$15M raised) → CADLabs: Bootstrapped a leading token engineering firm to 7-figure revenue. Delivered rigorous mechanism design and simulation systems for Tier 1 clients including the Ethereum Foundation. → BlockScience: Co-led the spin-off of Balancer ($900M+ peak TVL)→ cadCAD Edu - Built the leading online course for open-source systems & token engineering. engineers trained, exceptional product-market fit. → Neverstop Network - Founded a high-profile Web3 founder network. 8 curated events bringing together leading builders across the global ecosystem. → Harimata - As CEO, I brought an AI-based autism detection product to market and proved I can ship regulated deep tech.My current thesis: credit is the killer app for RWA tokenization. On-chain assets without on-chain credit are expensive wrappers. The real unlock happens when you can underwrite, originate, and service real-world credit positions with the composability and transparency of DeFi rails - and get institutional counterparties to the table.If you're a fund or operator thinking seriously about RWA credit, tokenized debt infrastructure, or institutional DeFi - let's talk.
