Aly Madhavji is Managing Partner of Blockchain Founders Fund, a Singapore-based venture capital firm where he oversees a $75 million second fund backed by Polygon and Ripple, directing early-stage investment across more than 200 Web3, AI, and fintech startups. A Canadian entrepreneur and investor now based in Singapore, he holds an INSEAD MBA in Strategy & Entrepreneurship, a master's from Tsinghua University, and a bachelor's from the University of Toronto, along with Chartered Professional Accountant, Chartered Accountant, and Chartered Investment Manager designations.

Before moving fully into venture investing, Madhavji worked across four continents at PwC, PayPal, Microsoft, and Bloomberg, and in 2017 co-founded GlobalDCX, a Singapore-based digital currency exchange. He is a Senior Blockchain Fellow at INSEAD, was named a "Blockchain 100" Global Leader by Lattice80, and serves on the University of Toronto's Governing Council, which oversees the university's roughly $2.5 billion budget. He has also advised blockchain platforms including Polymath.

Madhavji is a published author of three books and a regular columnist for Web3 publications, and he consults with organizations including INSEAD and the United Nations on how emerging technology can advance financial inclusion and the UN Sustainable Development Goals — work that gives his market analysis an unusually global, policy-aware perspective.

On the Roundtable 100 Blue Ribbon Committee, Madhavji brings venture-stage visibility into which Web3 and AI startups are actually shipping and gaining developer traction, a useful complement to the public-market-heavy makeup of the panel.
