Srinivasan Pitches Crypto Startup School to Malaysian Officials

Serial tech investor Balaji Srinivasan is attempting to forge closer ties to politicians in Malaysia, wooing them with a showcase of his startup school project and calling for policies that would support it.

According to people present at closed door meetings last month, the former Coinbase Global Inc. executive asked officials including Minister of Digital Gobind Singh Deo to consider a tighter-knit relationship between the government and his Network School, which he’s positioned as a means to bring world-class tech talent to the Southeast Asian nation.
