Hi guys. Welcome to the Fintech Coffee Break. I’m your host, Isabelle Castro, and today I shared my coffee break with Benjamin Gabay, Co-Founder of CrunchDAO.

CrunchDAO brings together thousands of data scientists and PhDs, pooling their collective ideas and strategies through gamification to create predictive financial insights. Now collaborating with financial institutions, they leverage the decentralized nature of the DAO to build more accurate machine-learning models that can power the institutions’ growth.

Heavily involved in improving understanding of DeFi in the wider community of France, they have also been involved in building the country’s first DeFi certification.

I spoke to Benjamin about why they chose the DAO structure and gamification to approach financial machine learning and predictive insights.
