After spending nearly a decade pursuing a career in the music business (Interscope Records; Paradigm Talent Agency; GALANTIS), David moved into tech in 2021 following the temporary (but severe) impacts of COVID-19 on the music business.

As he pursued a new direction in tech, one question formed at the forefront of his journey: how can we elevate principles of helping people – particularly, creatives (who in the past, were often not equitably credited for their work) – in this new, rapidly evolving era of tech?

A longtime proponent of decentralization; supporting the artists pushing culture forward; and new to the rise of NFTs – Haas found himself with a new question. With billions (more) in projected revenues on the table for Web3, how will we approach accountability when developing sustainable practices, cultures and communities in this new world?
