Griffin Cock Foster

About

I'm Griffin. I co-founded Nifty Gateway with my twin brother Duncan in 2018. Nifty Gateway was estimated to be valued at $1B in 2021 by Forbes. It went from $0 to $70M in annual revenue within two years of launching, did over $850M in total sales volume, and paid out $500M to artists. Nifty Gateway was acquired by Gemini in 2019.

I'm an angel investor and programmer based in New York. I'm happily married to my wife Josie, and we have a wonderful daughter, Florence. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me outdoors—hiking, exploring new places, or just enjoying being outside. I also love reading about history, business, and technology.
