On this fifth episode of our second season of Curating Crypto we have the pleasure to have Duncan and Griffin Cock Foster.  Identical twins, both had been living separately. Griffin in New York City and Duncan in SF, until their passion for building and all things crypto, tech and digital art brought them back together to chase a dream. Duncan first got into Nifties in 2017 when he learned about CryptoKitties. He attended Emory University and received a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science in 2017. He has always been interested in technological frontiers, and ever since he saw that amazingly passionate community of nifty collectors, he has been hooked. Griffin got his first job out of Washington University at St. Louis at Jet.com in Hoboken, but quickly grew restless and longed for the independence and opportunity of starting his own company. He moved up to San Francisco, convinced Duncan to quit his job too, and the rest is history. You may have also read about them in a recent profile in New York Magazine, or saw their amazing story about the acquisition on Bloomberg.
