Joe Mahon is Angel Investor. In earnest, I have led creative projects, worked with large teams, and am a great communicator. My goal is to explore and advance the world of blockchain gaming.

He has advised several notable DeFi projects and currently plays an active role in the yearn.finance governance protocol.

Prior to his involvement with cryptocurrency, Joe worked with Tony Hsieh of Zappos fame on Downtown Project, a $350 million venture dedicated to revitalizing Las Vegas’ downtown core through investments in small business, education, residential developments and the arts. The experience influenced the development of Joe’s approach to problem solving and it was through his work with Hsieh that he was introduced to Holacracy, a patented system for decentralized management and organizational governance. Since then, Joe has explored the practice of changing behavior at a fundamental level to create a more effective work environment.

Joe recognizes the importance of universality when introducing a governance structure that crosses borders. “Historically, games have done pretty well, crossing boundaries in terms of language barriers and playability,” he says. “When you’re talking from a bottom-up community level and bring in elements of governance, it can make things very difficult, because all of a sudden, a proposal for freedoms may have to be put up in three or four different languages for it to truly be fair.” It is these types of considerations that Joe keeps top of mind in his role as an advisor to YGG.
