THE WORLD NEEDS A REFERENCE POINT, A STANDARD BY WHICH TO JUDGE TOMORROW’S DISRUPTORS, AND D-CORE CAN PROVIDE IT
When we began looking to invest in blockchain projects, we encountered a serious dearth of credible information. We searched for institutional-grade research to help guide our decision-making and there was none. Therefore, we set out to create an institutional-level research and analysis engine that would become a benchmark for excellence.
D-CORE is a multi-layered methodology that uses blockchain technology to aggregate research and reviews from thousands of sources. The approach is overseen by industry leaders who check and validate the process.

Kevin Mudd
Kevin is the Founder of D-Core and conceptualised the idea and research methodology that forms the basis of what we use today. A British national, he has spent his 40 year career working in financial services across Europe, Asia, and Africa and for the last 25 years has been the Founder & CEO of a $500 million AUM European asset manager operating in Luxembourg and Cyprus.

Simon Bowles

He currently sits on the advisory board of five start-ups.
