Ken Anderson

Ken's life has been a remarkable journey. After graduating high school early, he enlisted in the US Army, serving as a human intelligence collector. He was deployed to Kosovo as lead interrogator.


In 2005, Ken left the Army and transitioned to sales. Recognizing the potential of software to solve business inefficiencies, he ventured into software development.


In 2015, Ken founded LaunchBadge, a technical problem-solving consultancy. In 2017, LaunchBadge delved into blockchain technology, choosing the nascent hashgraph consensus algorithm. Ken's involvement led to his role as Chief Developer Advocate for Swirlds and Hedera, the implementation team for hashgraph on the Hedera public network. He spent three years facilitating the entry of billion-dollar corporations into Hedera and exploring proofs-of-concept.


Ken eventually returned to LaunchBadge, expanding into other public networks like NEAR, Coreum, Polkadot, Ethereum, and Algorand.
