Centrality

Aaron McDonald is the Founder and CEO of Centrality.ai and a General Partner at NetX Ventures and D64 Ventures.

Aaron has been in technology for 20 years and is a co-founder, advisor or director to more than 30 projects in the space.

Centrality is a tech ventures ecosystem. Aaron and his team work with smart entrepreneurs and ventures who are trying to disrupt traditional value chains and concepts. They support these projects through every stage of the start-up lifecycle and create commercial connections with other portfolio companies in the ecosystem.

On Spool, Aaron said,

“DeFi is an exciting space because it offers the ability to transform the way people engage with finance, however only a small number of people who hold financial assets actually engage with it. One of the reasons for this is that it’s complex. Spool can help simplify the process which will make DeFi available to more people.”

Aaron continues,

“Spool solves the DeFi fragmentation problem, making it easier to take advantage of the many options for generating yield in crypto in a simpler way.

We have several yield funds in the portfolio which can use Spool and we intend to work with Spool to integrate with Plugnet, which is building a massive bridge for new users into DeFi.”

Spool DAO Initiator, James Childs, said,

“Aaron is a true builder in the crypto space. His expertise, network, and drive is an incredible asset for Spool. The strength of Spool is found in the quality of its DAO contributors. Aaron was an obvious addition and we look forward to working together to bring Spool to market.”
