Ola Kowalewski

Ola Kowalewski is an entrepreneur, researcher, and thought leader at the intersection of technology, finance, and societal impact. As co-founder of a quantitative investment fund in decentralized finance (DeFi), she operates at the cutting edge of emerging financial paradigms, bringing deep expertise in fintech and medtech innovation through the founding of three startups. A former Faculty Fellow and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Singularity University, Ola has established herself as a trusted voice in impact entrepreneurship, having guest lectured at Stanford University on the subject. Her work extends beyond business into the cultural and scientific realms — as a music aficionado, she served as an advisor to the EARTHLING Project, a SETI Institute initiative that sent a crowdsourced music album composed from 10,000 voices to the moon aboard the Odysseus spacecraft. Passionate about algorithmic accountability and technological empowerment, Ola advises mission-driven startups on go-to-market strategy and business model innovation, helping founders build ventures that create meaningful, lasting change.
