Gabby VorbeckPartnerships, crypto and AI

I grow products through strategic partnerships.

I've done it three times.

A consumer wallet. An open AI protocol. And now, the self custodial stack for sovereign agentic finance.

Each time, partners brought the users.

Partners have included BNB Chain, ConsenSys, Linea, Celo and Aerodrome, plus dozens more across chains, wallets and DeFi.

I'm cofounder and COO of Altana, based in Lisbon.

2025 to now

Altana

The self custodial stack for sovereign agentic finance.

Cofounder and COO. Partnerships, fundraising and operations.
We started as Functor Network and became Altana at mainnet launch.

Owners create a Smart Agentic Wallet and set the limits of a scoped onchain session key.

The agent of their choice transacts within those limits, on any open protocol.

Distribution came through BNB Agent Studio, where Altana is a native wallet option.

Season 1 of BNB Chain's Smart Money Era hackathon ran a track built on Altana.
