Head of Operations · CryptoGal Inc. · New York City

Ida Dale
runs the machine.

Founding team member and Head of Operations at CryptoGal Inc. I left everything familiar in Norway to build in New York, because I believe the next wave of crypto belongs to women, and someone has to build the structure that gets them there safely.

About

Grit, drive, and a reason to build.

I'm from Norway, a country that produces exceptional talent and ambitious founders. I could have built a comfortable career there. Instead I moved to New York City, earned my MBA in finance, and bet on myself in the most competitive startup ecosystem in the world. That decision tells you most of what you need to know about me.

My way into Web3 came through the communities doing the real work of opening this industry to women: SheFi, Stand With Crypto, the International Association of Women. What I saw there changed my direction. Women aren't missing from crypto because they aren't interested. They're missing because no one built for their trust, their education, or their confidence.

So that's what I build now. As a founding team member and Head of Operations at CryptoGal Inc., I take that mission and give it structure: the systems, timelines, budgets, and pipelines that turn a movement into a company. Scandinavian precision, applied to startup chaos, in service of something that matters.

"The next wave of crypto adoption will be led by women who feel safe enough to start. My job is to build the company that makes that true."

Event coordination and on-the-ground presence, from investor first-look events to ecosystem gatherings like Solana Skyline NYC.

Finance

Strategy & Capital Support

MBA-grade financial thinking applied to fundraising readiness, projections, and the operational diligence investors expect to see.

Ecosystem & Affiliations

Rooted in the Web3 community.

My path into crypto came through the organizations doing the real work of opening the industry up: education, advocacy, and community for women in Web3.

Currently Building

CryptoGal Purse.

At CryptoGal Inc., we're building an AI-powered app designed to help women enter crypto with confidence, with built in education, scam awareness, and a guided path to self-custody. Women remain significantly underrepresented in crypto, and the biggest barriers aren't interest. They're trust, education, and confidence. That's what we're changing.
