Kyle MacLean Smith
Co-Founder
Web3 Start-ups, Legal Manager & Engineering
Kyle has been building out the futuretech product side of Ixian. The for-profit aspects of this are still in stealth. But most of all, he believes law is a public good, and therefore spends much of his time developing not-for-profit legal public goods through his roles as Director of LexClinic and President of DAO Coalition. He is the Legal Engineering Curator at Hats Protocol and runs the Legal Engineering tracks at most of the Zuzalu-inspired pop-ups such as ZuVillage and Vitalia. Kyle is a Devcon Legal Scholar, a MegaZu attendee and brought in almost $400,000 in grants funding during his time at LexDAO.
Kyle has a background in enterprise music rights management, and is an avid polymath, focusing on scaling the legal engineering profession via scientific & mathematical rigor, automation & disintermediation, and code-is-law.
