Kaku has a strong track record of driving growth across various sectors. He has led growth for Iflix, which was later acquired by Tencent. In 2017, Kaku and his team launched a fintech app focused on Bitcoin and credit cards. By 2019, they built a crypto fund for institutions, scaling it to $100 million.
