#107 - Web3 Directorship Services with Petri Basson from Hash Directors

Most web3 founders appoint a director without truly understanding what that person is signing up for. Get it wrong, and it's not just a governance problem, it's a personal liability problem.

Petri Basson, Founder of Hash Directors, has sat on foundations, non-token web3 projects, and crypto funds across the Cayman Islands. In this episode, he breaks down exactly what a director is responsible for and what happens when things go wrong.

Petri is also an Advisor to Lemma, exTreasury, & Provenance, and serves as Chairman of BACI, the Blockchain Association of the Cayman Islands, known for also organizing Cayman Crypto Week.
