Adam Anderson, the author of Fire Yourself, the Entrepreneurial Endgame and co-host of the Two Stones, One Bird podcast, is a cyber security and space entrepreneur who has been the advisor, founder and/or primary investor in over 30 startups. Adam created the field of the psychological security and started his cybersecurity business to reach the goal of “Building resilient human minds to resist manipulation through technology,” stopping people from hacking minds by making sure everyone is aware of the concept. By taking the human side under consideration, Adam realized that it is still not fully protected when humans are involved in the virtual process where cybercrime happens, even though the underlying technology of crypto and NFT is safe today.
As the world is becoming incredibly digitalized, the businesses that need cyber security the most are those on the supply chain who are trying to adopt new technology but have little perception of blockchain and smart contracts. As a cybersecurity venture, Adam is responsible for the growth of cyber economy by reporting criminal activity and researching companies to ensure they are trustworthy. Adam is also one of the speakers at the NTF-VIP which is happening in NYC from June 19th – to 22nd. Being a person who holds the experience as both an entrepreneur and an institutional investor, Adam is excited and curious about “how do I use traditional bc and pe structure to organize all these things but replace institutional money coming in with money from NFT and DeFi.” At the same time, his engaged and professional speech made him a reliable speaker for clients looking to create a buzz in their communities.
In 2018, after selling his first cyber security company, Adam recognized that his role should be investing in people building companies that innovate in cyber security instead of staying on the front line. This is the point where he started acting as venture capital. The process of walking alongside those startups from the beginning stage to the final launch and production usually takes five years with three roles involved in each stage: pre-accelerator, accelerator, and incubator. He is now serving as the Chair of the Board for Hook Security and as Managing General Partner for Ansuz Capital.

YellowHeart, the NFT marketplace for ticketing, music, and community tokens, which accepts both crypto and credit card payments, has announced that it will be the official NFT ticketing sponsor of the upcoming NFT.NYC awards ceremony on June 21 at New York Marriott Marquis. The awards mark the pinnacle event of the three-day festival, which is projected to have a record turnout of 15,000 people and 1,500 speakers from 42 countries.
“As one of the earliest adopters of NFT ticketing, we are incredibly proud to be partnering with NFT.NYC to ticket its biggest awards ceremony to date,” said Josh Katz, Founder, and CEO of YellowHeart. “With every year, decentralization and blockchain technologies continue to become more mainstream because of their ability to disrupt industries that historically haven’t been innovative. The ticketing space is one of the most obvious use cases, and we’re elated that NFT.NYC understands this and is eager to evolve alongside us.”
The partnership between YellowHeart and NFT.NYC will grant conference attendees exclusive access to the awards ceremony and dinner. Guests can purchase their NFT tickets from YellowHeart’s mobile wallet, so they can be easily scanned and admitted to the event. By issuing NFT tickets instead of traditional tickets, NFT.NYC will be able to help eliminate scalping, fraudulent tickets, and high secondary ticket prices. YellowHeart uses on-chain analytics, which allows the company to identify if a user has purchased several tickets but transfers them all to other users, which likely indicates they’re a scalper. The ticket issuer is also in complete control if a ticket is resold, and if it is, for how much, so they can help prevent high resale prices.
NFT.NYC often referred to as the “Woodstock” or “Super Bowl” of NFTs, brings together thousands of guests from around the world, including artists, developers, and journalists. During the conference, guests have the opportunity to attend the industry’s most prevalent panels, thought leader talks, workshops, and briefings from numerous household names and brands. There are hundreds of events outside of the conference during the week. This year, YellowHeart has also partnered with Tao Group Hospitality, the biggest global hospitality company in the world, to roll out three nights of NFT ticketing at Marquee in New York. The events will run on June 22, 24, and 25.
