Blockchain’s popularity is soaring. Tech giants are moving into the field and blockchain expertise is in high demand. TechCrunch has reported that blockchain is second-fastest growing industry in today’s labor market, with 14 job openings for every one blockchain developer.

To help address this demand for talent, three Googlers-turned-blockchain-entrepreneurs are starting a community to bring together current and former Googlers interested in the blockchain industry. This community will serve as a collaborative space for inquiry, dialogue and development regarding blockchain technology for Googlers.

The group, named xGoogler Blockchain Alliance (GBA), consists of blockchain project founders, team members, investors and advisors who once worked at Google.

GBA aims to bring together ex-Googlers to advance each other’s ambitions in the blockchain space. Blockchain at the moment is a hotbed of innovation, and is ripe for transformative ideas and breakthrough technologies.

Googlers, as some of the most innovative and forward-thinking people in the world, can play a big role in accelerating the success of blockchain. With GBA, these individuals now have a meeting point to share and build their ideas about blockchain.
