Silvina Moschini, founder of Unicorn Hunter, Unicoin and SheWorks!, doesn’t do average. From the early days of the internet to the frontier of digital assets, she has built her career on rethinking the rules. An Argentinian native who moved to the United States in search of opportunity, Moschini has since become a leading voice in Web3 entrepreneurship, workforce transformation, and the future of capital markets. Her path is anything but conventional.
“I have worked in the internet and technology from very early on, from the first internet revolution back in 1999,” she says. Her early career included leading communications for Latin America at Compaq Computers during the height of the dot-com boom. She then joined Patagon, the first internet bank in Latin America, where she helped orchestrate communications and marketing strategy during its meteoric rise. Patagon would later be acquired by Banco Santander Central Hispano for $800 million.
That formative experience set the tone for everything that followed.
“It was one of the largest transactions of the time,” she says. But it wasn’t just the scale that stuck with her. It was the realization that technology could unlock entirely new systems. That realization grew into a mission.
After leaving corporate life, Moschini turned her attention to entrepreneurship. One of her early ventures, TransparentBusiness, focused on remote workforce management before remote work became mainstream. The platform offered tools to monitor distributed teams and provide real-time performance metrics for employers. It was an answer to a problem many hadn’t yet realized they had. TransparentBusiness would go on to raise capital globally and be recognized as a pioneer in remote workforce technology.
That venture evolved into SheWorks!, a global platform connecting women with flexible and remote work opportunities.
“We started SheWorks! with the idea that technology can remove the barriers that prevent women from entering the workforce,” she says. Built on the productivity and tracking infrastructure developed at TransparentBusiness, SheWorks! was designed to connect skilled female professionals with remote job opportunities from employers around the world.
“We believe that inclusion is not just the right thing to do. It’s good for business,” she says. In emerging markets, where women often struggle with access to employment due to social and logistical barriers, SheWorks! created an entirely new channel of economic participation. The platform won accolades, established partnerships with multinationals like Google, and received recognition from the United Nations. Moschini began to build a reputation as both a tech visionary and a force for social impact.
Moschini became a regular speaker at global conferences and policy roundtables, often addressing the intersection of gender equity, digital inclusion, and entrepreneurship. Her view was always expansive, and she made a deliberate choice to frame women’s empowerment as an economic imperative rather than just a moral one.
But she wasn’t done.
Moschini’s next chapter began with the business reality series Unicorn Hunters, which she co-created. The show set out to do something different. Unlike programs like Shark Tank or Dragons’ Den, which featured high-net-worth individuals investing behind closed doors, Unicorn Hunters invited the general public to participate. It showcased early-stage startups pitching to a panel of well-known investors including Steve Wozniak, co founder of Apple, and Rosie Rios, US Treasurer, and promised transparency in how deals were made.
“We had a show that reached 27 million people per episode,” Moschini says. “But people would watch and ask: how can I invest?”
That question exposed the flaw in the system. While the show promoted accessibility, the reality was that most viewers couldn’t legally invest due to accreditation requirements. In the United States and many other jurisdictions, only those who met strict income or net worth thresholds could participate in private equity. That left out the majority of interested viewers.
Moschini was frustrated by the irony. “The structure still excluded regular people,” she says. “They could watch the show, but they couldn’t build wealth with us.”
This experience led directly to the creation of Unicoin. The goal was to design a compliant financial instrument that would provide access to startup investing without violating securities laws.
“We needed a new vehicle,” Moschini says. “Something transparent, regulated, and backed by real assets.”
Unicoin is a dividend-paying digital asset backed by equity in high-growth private companies. Each token represents a share in a diversified portfolio of startup equity, selected and vetted through the Unicorn Hunters deal pipeline. Instead of being driven by hype or speculation, Unicoin is structured for long-term value creation.
“It’s a way to make the investment process accessible and secure,” she says. “Not speculative like other cryptocurrencies, but rooted in real assets.”
Unicoin offers an on-ramp for ordinary investors who want to participate in venture returns without having to navigate opaque investment vehicles. The companies selected are typically high-potential startups across sectors such as fintech, AI, health, and sustainability. When those companies succeed, holders of Unicoin receive dividends.
This architecture is built not just for financial returns but for regulatory clarity. “We follow the rules,” Moschini said. “That’s the only way to build trust and scale.”
Still, building Unicoin was not without its hurdles. Before the introduction of the GENIUS Act, regulatory grey zones in the U.S. led to tense moments. “We had to navigate real uncertainty with the SEC,” she says. “Gary Gensler’s tenure brought aggressive enforcement actions, and we needed to ensure that what we were building would not fall into a compliance trap.” These challenges forced the team to pause, consult legal experts, and reengineer aspects of the token to align with evolving interpretations of securities law.
Compounding those challenges was a recurring frustration for Moschini as a founder. “When I asked for money, I got advice,” she says. “And when I asked for advice, I got nothing.” Her experience as a female entrepreneur often meant investors didn’t take her seriously at first. “It was hard to get backing, not because the idea wasn’t sound, but because of the person delivering it.”
Her vision found strong validation with the passage of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Formally titled the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, the legislation introduced sweeping reforms for how digital assets must be structured and disclosed.
“The GENIUS Act provides a clear framework for payment stablecoins,” Moschini says. “It establishes who can issue them, how they must be backed, and what disclosures are required.”
Though Unicoin is not a stablecoin, its design principles, full asset backing, transparency, and compliance align closely with the Act. “Regulation should be a springboard, not a barrier,” she says. “It legitimizes the ecosystem and protects the consumer.”
Her ambitions for Unicoin are expansive. The platform’s treasury already includes $500 million worth of startup equity, with a target to scale to $1 billion. Moschini is building partnerships with governments, sovereign entities, and international firms. She is especially focused on emerging markets where access to capital has traditionally been constrained.
“We’re not creating wealth for the top one percent. We’re creating access for the ninety-nine percent,” she says.
The company is developing tools for investor onboarding, wallet integration, and compliance reporting to ensure the infrastructure is ready for both retail and institutional adoption. From tokenization of real-world assets to cross-border financing, Unicoin is positioning itself as a new layer of the capital market.
She sees potential far beyond the United States. In Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, Moschini believes that blockchain-enabled equity platforms can open doors for millions of founders and investors who are locked out of traditional financial systems.
“This is about financial democracy,” she says. “Capital should flow where there is potential, not just where there is privilege.”
Her background gives her a rare combination of skills. With experience in corporate communications, international marketing, startup acceleration, and policy advocacy, she knows how to navigate both the regulatory and storytelling dimensions of innovation. She has worked with the United Nations, been honoured by the Women Economic Forum, and featured on major media platforms such as CNN, Forbes, and Bloomberg.
She also brings a pragmatic lens to everything she builds. “We don’t want to be the flashiest,” she says. “We want to be the most trusted.”
Her leadership style is hands-on. She oversees strategy, guides product development, and leads investor communications. The Unicoin team includes finance professionals, legal experts, tech architects, and policy advisors. Their mission is to build a long-term platform that bridges blockchain innovation with real-world impact.
Moschini describes her goal in simple terms: “We’re doing the hard work to create a new asset class. Not just for speculation, but for building wealth that is shared.”
As Unicoin prepares for broader exchange listings and new institutional partnerships, she continues to refine the model. She is exploring bartering startup equity and real-world assets for Unicoins, a strategy already piloted successfully, and now looking to expand into new asset classes, including altcoins and tokenized real estate.
She refers to the growing Unicoin community as the “Unicoin Nation” , a global base of thousands of holders across more than 100 countries. To Moschini, this is more than a product. It is a movement.
Asked what keeps her going, her answer is direct: “We’re building for permanence. For legacy. For inclusion.”
Silvina Moschini has made a habit of working at the edge of what’s next. From the internet’s early days to today’s decentralized frontier, she is once again showing what happens when technology and mission align. And she’s not done yet.
