About Edward DeLeon Hickman
Edward DeLeon Hickman (also known as Edward Hickman or Ed Hickman) is the founder and CEO of
Futurecast AI, a holding company that uses a custom-tailored agentic AI workflow
— a chorus of specialized AI agents — to build, ship, and scale ventures that would normally
require entire teams.
He has spent his career predicting the future. He bought his first Bitcoin at $0.14 and founded
ANATHA in 2013 — what he believes was among the world's first digital asset funds —
and led it as CEO for ten years. He was a first-round investor in 18 of the top 20 best-performing
ICOs in market history, with a seat at the table on Ethereum, Cosmos, and Cardano. He has
participated in the design and deployment of more than 70 crypto projects as a consultant,
tokenomics expert, or early investor.
Edward wrote for CoinTelegraph and Bitcoinist in 2014, when crypto was still a
fringe story.
