About Us

The Team

Jeremy Kauffman

Founder, Director

Because graduating from RPI with degrees in physics and computer science is the hip thing to do, Jeremy did the same. Jeremy is also the founder and CEO of TopScore, a startup that processes millions of dollars monthly in event and activity registrations.

Jeremy has been responsible for the packing, presentation, and strategy of LBRY, as well as some design aspects. Jeremy is a longtime BitTorrent community enthusiast.

Jimmy Kiselak

Founder, Developer

After graduating from RPI with a degree in physics and computer science, Jimmy found himself mired in government bureaucracy, spending too much time to get too little done. Jimmy has been a Bitcoin fanatic since its early days as well as long been interested in the benefits of decentralization.

Ready to work on a project he believed in, Jimmy quit his national security job to start LBRY several months ago. Jimmy created the LBRY protocol and the first LBRY application.

Mike Vine

Technology Evangelist

With a humble BA in Philosophy from Tulane University, Mike has built a successful financial services marketing company, Centinel Consulting. Centinel recently built a client’s website from 20K visitors per month to 150K, and manages email marketing lists and social media accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Mike has been involved with the Bitcoin community since the early days. His friends have launched companies like Lamassu BTM, Coinapult, and Shapeshift. Now, he wants a turn to help change the world by harnessing blockchain technology. Mike heads up LBRY’s marketing efforts and serves as an ambassador for our platform to media, investors, and the public.
