CryptoSlate was founded in 2017 by Nate Whitehill and Matthew Blancarte. Both of them, being web specialists and passionate about cryptocurrencies, decided to build a platform that would provide reliable, accurate, and up-to-date information about the crypto and blockchain world. Whitehill and Blancarte continue to be the chief executive and chief design officer, respectively, of CryptoSlate. Based out of Seattle, USA, CryptoSlate primarily covers news related to cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and initial coin offerings (ICOs). They report on crypto markets, new coins, companies, products related to cryptocurrencies, and events happening in the crypto world. **One interesting fact**: CryptoSlate has developed a product called the "ICO Database," which is a comprehensive, independently-curated directory of all ongoing and upcoming Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). This tool is particularly valuable for investors and followers of the crypto space to keep track of new investment opportunities and the status of existing ones.
