Haseeb Qureshi is a Managing Partner at Dragonfly, a crypto and web3 focused venture firm founded in 2018. Haseeb's path towards becoming a VC today was anything but straightforward: at age 19, he dropped out of college to play poker full-time and became one of the strongest No-Limit Hold 'Em players in the world. Following his poker career, Haseeb discovered Effective Altruism, gave away the vast majority of his poker winnings, and went back to college to pursue tech startups. He ultimately found his way into the anti-fraud team at Airbnb but was quickly red-pilled into the crypto industry, working full time in the space starting in 2017 at Earn.com, which was acquired by Coinbase, and later at MetaStable Capital.
