Cofounder & CEO of Infinite (YC W25)
About

Nikhil Srinivasan is the cofounder and CEO of Infinite (YC W25), the global financial network built on a compliance system of intelligence. Infinite gives businesses unified fiat and stablecoin accounts and global payment rails, with counterparty review done once for the whole network instead of once per relationship, so every dollar moves faster and cheaper as more companies connect. In 2026 the company launched Infinite Accounts, dedicated bank accounts that bring fiat and stablecoins together for B2B payments. Infinite is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Coinbase Ventures, 468 Capital, and Y Combinator.
Before Infinite, Nikhil led the compliance and risk platform at Sardine, the fraud prevention and compliance company used by fintechs and banks. He joined Coinbase in 2018 when it acquired Distributed Systems, the digital identity company he cofounded with Alex Kern, to build Login with Coinbase; he went on to lead product for Coinbase's crypto platform. Earlier, he did research at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.
Nikhil was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in Enterprise Technology (2019) and to Stablecon's Stablecoins Most Influential 2026 list. He is an angel investor in more than 50 companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Circle, Varda, Hadrian, and Colossal Biosciences.
