Colborn Bell is Co-Founder and Director at zeroone, a cultural distribution platform enabling individuals to create, collect, and connect, and simultaneously serves as Founder and Director of the Museum of Crypto Art (MoCA), a nonprofit digital museum he established in April 2020. At MoCA, he oversees a metaverse-based institution that exhibits work from hundreds of digital artists. He co-founded zeroone in October 2022, with the platform formally headquartered in New York.

Bell's entry into digital assets began in 2016, with his first ether purchase in February 2017. His interest in smart contracts and early-stage crypto projects, including participation in multiple ICOs, preceded his pivot toward NFTs, which accelerated following his attendance at the Satoshi conference in January 2020. That year he was also engaged to conduct a compliance review of the NFT marketplace SuperRare. Prior to his work in digital art and crypto, Bell spent approximately six years as a Private Wealth Manager at a family office, from May 2014 to May 2020, and held an earlier position as Trader and Portfolio Analyst at Abacus Wealth Partners from August 2012 to April 2014. Between 2017 and 2020, he founded and directed Frontier Technology at 5th Element Group, PBC, and separately founded Finite Square Well. From August 2021 to June 2023, he served as Artistic Director at DMINTI. Bell studied finance and psychology in New York and holds a degree from Columbia University.
