Goldfinch was launched by two Coinbase veterans who have a vision to dramatically expand the world of DeFi. That's why Mike Sall and Blake West started Goldfinch, which announced on Wednesday that it's raised $11 million from Andreessen Horowitz and other blue chip investment firms. The duo say that, while at Coinbase, they saw how DeFi could transform finance and lending markets if it could expand beyond its core customer base—a base that is composed almost entirely of professional crypto traders.
