I met Ganesh through a mutual friend at SFU. Back then, we were just dreamers and wide eyed undergrads. Learning and absorbing everything going on around us. Fast forward a few years, I was working with Blast Radius and Ganesh was trying his hand at social games. One Friday, a few of us met up for beers and that’s when I handed my old business card to Ganesh. Those days he was renting a desk at A Thinking Ape’s office. Later that same business card got me a job with A Thinking Ape and we found ourselves working in the same office. Over the next 2 years I saw Ganesh work hard and stay relentless.

Covalent is at the forefront of changing the traditional ways we look at, define, and access big data. They’re providing the industry what it truly needs - a true representation of what transparency looks like.

Three years ago, Covalent did not exist. Despite a challenging 2020 for everyone, Covalent and the entire crypto space has thrived. Covalent has scaled from a small project with two passionate founders to a project with global ambitions. Here’s a letter I shared with our stakeholders highlighting the key moments that defined Covalent over the last twelve months.

“I think in a few years, you will be another Snowflake…”

“I don’t think the market is big enough for your company…”

That’s what I told Ganesh Swami when we met in a coffee shop back in August 2018 after hearing about Covalent for the first time.

“Maybe it isn’t, but it will be…” was Ganesh’s response.

The year 2019 marks our second year of operations at Covalent. Here’s a letter I shared with our stakeholders – staff, investors, partners and customers on our progress in 2019 and where we see the growth opportunities in 2020.
