Joel Birch is CEO & Co-Founder of Stacked Labs, Partner at Ilios Group, building automated investment products. Accomplished leader with 10+ years of experience in sales leadership, startup growth and sales development. In 2015 I stumbled across Bitcoin and blockchain technology. I wasn't immediately intrigued as an investor but I was enamored by the tech; or at least the idea of it. In 2016 I began getting more involved in the cryptocurrency space and in 2017 I began trading and investing full time. I began to gain some credibility in the crypto space as my Twitter influence grew which led to me being introduced to many successful and prominent influencers in crypto whom I've had the great pleasure of learning from in the last few years. Shocked by the lack of resources to help other people learn, and with my background in training, I CoFounded one of the largest trading communities on Telegram with over 45,000 subscribers. We decided to use our platform to bring investment opportunities from the cryptocurrency startup ecosystem to main street. We closed a Seed round in March 2019 and the MVP for Lunar will launch in June. We also launched Lunar Capital in order to fill a need we saw from accredited investors. Lunar Capital is a fund that does more than 'HODL'. We on-boarded our initial investors in an investment round in December 2018. Prior to cofounding Lunar Labs, I developed the sales training program for one of Chicago's most successful technology startups. I was responsible for the development and growth of GrubHub's industry-leading sales team outperforming major competitors like Uber, Amazon, Yelp, & more pre to post-IPO. I helped design the sales process and 'wrote the book' on selling our service to restaurants in one of the most competitive "startup" industries (on-demand delivery).
