Steve Chen

He exerted a significant influence on the strategy of interaction with content creators and the media industry, bringing experience in building a large-scale video platform. Participation as an advisor and investor helped formalize approaches to monetization, rights management, and the integration of existing video services with decentralized infrastructure. Activity in public and private discussions, as well as the status of co-founder of a large video platform, increased Theta's recognition and legitimacy in the eyes of potential partners and users. This contributed to the establishment of commercial pilots and technological integrations that demonstrated the practical applicability of the solution. His contribution was especially important at the stage of early market entry, when trust from content creators and opportunities for integration with existing workflows determined the network growth rate and demand for services provided by the Theta infrastructure.
