Founder / CEO

Hailing from Romania, Vlad III founded Vampyre Fund / Dracula DAO in 2020 after developing a bloodthirsty fascination with Cardano's third generation blockchain technology in 2018. Vampyre has been forging blocks ever since, although we prefer the term "impaling". He holds an ongoing leadership position in the Order of the Dragon society and had an influential founding role in the Dacia coven.

Head of Marketing

After starring in the 1922 film, "Nosferatu", Count Orlok pivoted from entertaining, acting and producing into marketing. Vampires are undead, allowing many opportunities to reinvent and reimagine the course of one's career. He joined the Vampyre Fund team in 2022 on the 100 year anniversary of his famous starring role, which interestingly required no stage makeup.

Chief Operations Officer

Bartholomew Vrykolakas comes to Vampyre Fund with experience in various vampire enforcer roles. Although his past positions in the realm are confidential in nature, his strict adherence to the Black Veil code of ethics and emphasis on quality and safety contribute to Vampyre's ongoing reliability and uptime record as a Cardano validator. He prefers to stay out of the light in background roles as much as possible.

Chief Strategy Officer

Sebastian Chiroptera comes to the executive team with above average dexterity and unparalleled experience and wisdom. His career (as well as himself) has morphed into different forms in the past. He has a pilot's license with an uncanny instinct for pilotage and dead reckoning, but prefers echolocation at night. These natural abilities make him perfect for his strategic role at Vampyre Fund.
