Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano is an American military veteran, investor, entrepreneur, YouTube channel host, and “solo capitalist” working under the name Pomp Investments to plough millions of dollars into early-stage companies that are currently worth a total of over $1 billion. He has also developed a reputation as a major investor in Bitcoin, and his eponymous YouTube channel has built an audience of over 277,000 subscribers in just three years with his content racking up close to 24 million views. His daily cryptocurrency email newsletter, Off the Chain, also has close to 200,000 subscribers.
Pompliano served in the US Military as part of Operation Freedom Iraq. After being demobbed, he found work in a completely different sector: social media. He was a Product Manager at Facebook, leading their Growth Team for a year. He then moved full-time into investing, becoming a Managing Partner at Full Tilt Capital, which was acquired by Morgan Creek Digital Assets, of whom he was a co-founder and partner. The firm focused on emerging blockchain technology, becoming part of the first wave of investors to really take cryptocurrency seriously. This plan paid off, and in late 2020, Pompliano went solo, investing millions of his hard-earned dollars into new digital businesses.
He’s had a long and very varied career, but Pompliano has distinguished himself on the field of combat and in the very different, but still very tough, arena of crypto investment.
