Fireside Chat with Adam Kohler

Prior to launching CPROP and engaging in the ICO space, Adam co-founded real estate tech platform dotloop in 2008, which was acquired by Zillow in 2015 for $108 million. Adam is also founder of Reversed Out - a creative and technology firm focused on creative, branding, web design and application development.

Adam also founded CovWorx in 2016, a 20,000 sq. ft. co-working space in Covington, KY. Adam recently founded the Kentucky Blockchain Alliance, which aims to educate regulators, legislators, businesses and individuals about various blockchain tech as well as advocate for the Commonwealth as a hub for advanced technologies.

Adam will share insights and experiences from his journey growing up in the hardscrabble community of Price Hill - from starting out as a freelance designer to launching, scaling and selling DotLoop to launching CPROP to emerging as one of the region's most respected and sought-after authorities on blockchain. Adam recently spent time at Capitol Hill advising members of the US Chamber of Commerce on blockchain and the ICO space.
