Built on the thesis that crypto deserves better.
Crypto protocols systematically underinvest in their capital markets infrastructure. The gap between what exists and what should exist is the opportunity Novora was built to address.
Connor King
Founder & CEO
Prior to founding Novora, Connor spent 9 years actively building and investing in crypto. He was the first growth hire at MoonPay, led BD and IR efforts at Arca raising $35M+ personally, built and ran the first liquid crypto investment strategy for Chamath at Social Capital, and led GTM at data protocol Irys.
Most advisory firms in crypto come from one world. We come from three.
Before Novora, Connor built and ran a liquid crypto fund at Social Capital for Chamath Palihapitiya. He sat in the seat that most advisory clients are trying to reach: the allocator reviewing pitch decks, sizing positions, and deciding which tokens deserved institutional capital.
Then he moved to the other side. At Arca, he led business development and investor relations, raising over $35M personally. He learned what it takes to build trust with allocators, structure a narrative that survives diligence, and communicate with discipline in volatile markets.
Then he built. As the first growth hire at MoonPay and head of GTM at Irys, he operated inside the companies that advisory firms typically advise from the outside.
That combination does not exist anywhere else in crypto advisory. Novora is not guessing at what investors want to see. We have been the investor. We have been the operator. And we have raised the capital. That is the lens we bring to every engagement.
Independent. Conflict-free. Senior-led. Built on the conviction that crypto protocols deserve the same caliber of capital markets infrastructure as the best public companies in the world.
