Mikyö Clark

I distill emerging technology into stories people share.

A trading desk's transactions no one else can see. Economic security other networks can borrow. A chain where models run in private and agents run themselves. A runtime that decides what an agent can do and proves who sent it. An AI-native memory system that both humans and machines work from.

For founders, foundations, and funds building infrastructure

Five years building autonomous AI and cryptographic trust. Nine years of brand, community, and change work before that.

Sweet spot
Narrative and go-to-market for infrastructure that does not have a story yet. Five years across autonomous AI and cryptographic trust: marketing for an AI-native L1 at Ritual, community for restaking at EigenLayer, go-to-market for agent governance at Inversed, research at a privacy venture studio. Audiences built from zero, contributor economies designed and run, and the primitive explained to developers, capital, and the wider world.

Work

Technical projects made legible, while they were still code.

2026 CompressionConsulting Six months helping friends' companies put agents to work inside larger organizations, and learning what that takes to implement. I helped build the company brain Compression and our clients run on (Core): one repository people and agents read, act on, and write back to.
2026 InversedGTM Lead The applied cryptography lab, the team that built the AMPC system for World. I built the go-to-market and positioning for Threshold, a governance layer that enforces what an AI agent may do before it acts. Wireframed the product from user research (wireframes, demo), mapped the competitive landscape (Threshold Atlas), and authored The Agentic Stack and The Organizational Stack.
2025 RitualHead of Marketing The chain built for autonomous agents: everything AI needs onchain, as native primitives rather than middleware, oracles, or keeper bots. Sixteen precompiles give Solidity contracts frontier models, internet access, scheduling, and key management, with prompts and responses encrypted inside TEEs and results settled in the same transaction (docs). Agents run themselves: they schedule their own execution, hold their own keys, and revive from checkpoints, so as long as they have funds they keep operating. I led marketing for that design before there was a testnet to demo. Foundation account from zero to 40,000+. Combined audience past 100,000. Community from 18,000 to 109,000. Roughly 500 developers in a technical chat community. One of the first agent-driven experiences deployed inside a live community. Three threads I wrote for the foundation account: Intelligent Money, EVM++, and the World Computer.
2024 EigenLayerHead of Community Restaking was one of the most influential architectural ideas in crypto in 2023 to 2024, and the closest cousin to an incentive network I have worked on: independent operators, scored, paid by result. I built the community function from scratch as the category was being defined. Workstreams for analytics, growth, support, and programs. Designed and led a retroactive distribution of six million EIGEN to early advocates and contributors, the community allocation of the Season 2 stakedrop. Both stakedrop launches and the token generation event. Built the first version of the ambassador program and the fellowship. Unlocking Human Coordination, a documentary on the protocol's ethos, which I co-directed and executive produced.
2023 to 2024 DecentHead of Research I built and led the research practice at a privacy-focused venture studio, and ran it through the bear market. Its stage-gated lifecycle decided which ideas got funded and which stopped, with each stage tested against the market before more capital moved: a privacy product for trading desks went through validation with three of them first. Brand strategy and organization design for the studio.
Before Signify Health, Culture Amp, Spring HealthBrand and marketing Nine years of brand, community, and change work before crypto. At Signify Health I owned the holistic marketing plan and budget and led the largest campaign in the company's history to that point. At Culture Amp I co-led the rebrand and the company's global community. At Spring Health I owned the brand plan and budget and built the brand and content team through hypergrowth.

How I work

I give voice to complex technologies as a player/coach.

The technology arrives before it has a narrative and metaphors to make it legible to a broader audience. I build those stories brick by brick.

Player/coach means I am in the work, not above it. I set the themes, then write, edit, and give notes alongside the team. The teams I have built, a community function from scratch, a marketing function pre-product, a brand team through hypergrowth, ran on shared purpose and high autonomy.
