Founding Team

Taylor McKnight, Founder & CEO

Taylor is the visionary force behind Dot, leading the charge to captivate millions of players.

Before Dot, he built and scaled an event app platform, collaborating with major events like Lollapalooza and Comic-Con. His knack for crafting delightful experiences led to creating award-winning campaigns for Samsung, Pinterest, and MailChimp. He even helped guide Live Nation through the 2021-2022 NFT craze.

Taylor was one of the early digital nomads, featured by Airbnb and living in 30+ countries over nearly a decade. His travels took him motorcycling in Romania, scuba diving in Thailand, surfing in Bali, and playing way too much poker in Macau.

He also helped build The Hype Machine, learning how to drive social attention—skills that got his wife on ESPN and his puppy over 55 million views on TikTok.


Thiago Cruz, Founder & CTO

Thiago is the technical leader powering Dot's innovative platform.

Before Dot, he led web3 development for an event app company, pioneering crypto payments and tokengated ticketing systems. His expertise also birthed Perk Shop, a web3 commerce and loyalty platform delivering rewards, member benefits and phygital redemption for trailblazing companies.

Thiago's expertise in backend React/Next development, embedded wallets, and contracts ensures Dot is both functional and secure. His skill in creating robust, cutting-edge infrastructures makes him the perfect partner in Dot's mission to connect millions of players in the onchain gaming world.
