Lucas Vogelsang is Co-Founder and CTO at Tare, a Brooklyn-based fintech building end-to-end blockchain infrastructure for private credit markets.

Lucas co-founded Centrifuge in 2018, pioneering the Real-World Assets (RWA) on-chain category, and later served as a Venture Partner at Blockchain Capital, bringing deep crypto and credit expertise to every venture he joins.

With over 16 years of experience founding and scaling high-throughput platforms, Lucas combines hands-on backend engineering with product architecture and hiring leadership, having previously co-founded DeinDeal as CTO, a Groupon competitor acquired in 2011.

At Centrifuge, Lucas helped facilitate the first institutional-grade RWA transaction with MakerDAO and BlockTower Credit, tokenizing private credit funds totaling $220M in 2023, cementing his reputation as a category-defining builder in on-chain finance.

At Tare, Lucas is helping modernize the fragmented private credit market by consolidating origination, servicing, and capital markets into one unified blockchain-powered system, targeting a U.S. total addressable market estimated at $6 to $8 trillion.
