Company
Hedgehog
Cryptocurrency Robo-adviser. Buy. Balance. Relax.
We built a crypto robo-adviser that automatically manages users' funds across broad baskets of digital assets covering up to 85% of crypto's market cap. It rebalances portfolios to reduce risk and simplify investing in crypto for people who don't want to handle individual tokens themselves.
We live in San Jose, CA, and the company is based there and operates remotely as well.
We are based in San Jose because that's where the team lives and where we have access to technical talent and crypto users. We operate remotely to stay flexible and tap into talent beyond the area.
