The angel investor and entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan 's first business project was the genetic testing company Counsyl, which he founded in 2007. The company allowed prospective parents to diagnose genetic disorders in the early stages of fetal development. That business was eventually sold for $375 million, making Balaju a star among startup founders. Other successful businesses Dr. Srinivasan has launched included Teleport, a platform for software engineers, and Coin Center, a research and advocacy company. Dr. Srinivasan was an early adopter and advocate of cryptocurrencies — he has been investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, etc since 2013.
