Biography

Neil Bergquist has led Coinme, a trailblazer in cryptocurrency services, from its inception to its rise as a key player in the U.S. fintech space. His extensive background includes transformative leadership at SURF Incubator and vital roles in innovation management across several firms. Bergquist's entrepreneurial journey was sparked by the inefficiencies in traditional financial systems and the emerging potential of digital currencies. Establishing Coinme in 2014, he introduced secure, ATM-based bitcoin transactions to mainstream audiences, a novel concept at the time. Under his guidance, Coinme became the first licensed bitcoin ATM services in the U.S., setting industry standards in what was a largely unregulated market. His business philosophy — focusing on speed, trust, and customer-centric product innovation — has consistently driven Coinme's expansion and success. Bergquist's strategic vision involves pushing the boundaries of digital financial services to serve underbanked or unbanked populations, while emphasizing the transformative power of cryptocurrencies.
