Biography
Devin Finzer is CEO of OpenSea, a marketplace for nonfungible tokens--digital assets that represent real-world objects like art.
He cofounded New York-based OpenSea in 2018 with Chief Technology Officer Alex Atallah; each of them own an estimated 18% stake.
Finzer and Atallah became the first NFT billionaires in January 2021, after private investors valued their company at $13.3 billion.
Finzer worked as a software engineer at Pinterest; he sold his first startup, Claimdog, to Credit Karma in 2015 for an undisclosed sum.
In July 2022, Finzer announced on Twitter that Open Sea was laying off about 20% of its employees.
