Haseeb Qureshi

Haseeb Qureshi is Managing Partner at Dragonfly, a global cryptocurrency investment fund, a position he has held since January 2019. Dragonfly has invested in more than 150 crypto companies. Qureshi co-founded the firm with Bo Feng, and operates from San Francisco, California.

Prior to Dragonfly, Qureshi was a General Partner at MetaStable Capital, where he led early investments in projects including Avalanche, NEAR Protocol, Algorand, and Starkware. Before moving into investment, he worked as a blockchain engineer at Earn.com, which was subsequently acquired by Coinbase, and before that as a software engineer at Airbnb focused on payments fraud. He served as Director of Product at App Academy, where he instructed students across multiple cohorts. He has taught a course on Web3 Entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley and previously taught a course on cryptocurrencies for programmers at the Bradfield School of Computer Science. Qureshi entered the technology sector after a career as a professional poker player: he began playing at 16 with $50, reached a net worth exceeding $1 million by 19, and retired from poker permanently at 21, donating approximately half a million dollars he had accumulated. He subsequently wrote a book, How to Be a Poker Player: The Philosophy of Poker, which became a bestseller. He holds a Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin, and completed full-stack web development training at App Academy. Qureshi has publicly committed to donating 33% of his pre-tax income annually through Founders Pledge.
