Evan Kohlmann
Evan Kohlmann spent two decades tracking terrorists through their own chatrooms, earning the nickname 'the Terrorist Search Engine.' He built cyberintelligence firm Flashpoint from his bedroom, wrote its original code, and served as NBC News' terrorism analyst for nearly 18 years. Today he is founder and CEO of Cloudburst Technologies, a New York company that maps the off-chain human networks behind crypto fraud - the pump-and-dumps, pig-butchering rings, and market manipulation that live in forums and chatrooms rather than on the blockchain. Cloudburst raised a $7M Series A in 2025 backed by Coinbase Ventures, CoinFund, and In-Q-Tel.
