Guillaume Balas

As a Startup Mentor at Founder Institute, I support and advise early-stage entrepreneurs on building and scaling their ventures. I also invest in Startups. Previously, I co-founded and led 3scale, a SaaS company that provides API management solutions, which was acquired by RedHat in 2016. I also served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Meta Pool, the leading liquid staking solution on NEAR Protocol and Aurora, where I oversaw the marketing strategy and execution for the platform. I have a proven track record of launching, operating, and growing successful tech companies in a multicultural, highly collaborative, and fast-paced environment. I am trilingual in French, English, and Spanish.
